"Leading Seaman Brown [was] trapped on a lonely desolate wasteland in the Pacific; surrounded by creeping, cursing men, thirsting for blood; and by cruel, razor edged rocks and flesh-tearing cactus. How did he dare defy, single-handed, a sun-crazed, gnat-tortured army? Here is a tale of heroism to stir the blood. A drama of the sea to haunt the mind". Very Good, firmly bound volume, bookplate at front endpaper, light stain to fore-edge of front endpaper, half-title and title page, in Very Good dustjacket, modest chipping at spine ends and flap corners, some closed edge tears, partial splitting at front flap edge.
