Boon Island is a thrilling novel of suspense and adventure that will keep you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end. Set in the 1800s, the novel follows the story of a group of fishermen who are stranded on a remote island after their boat is destroyed in a storm.

However, as the days turn into weeks, the men begin to lose hope. They are constantly haunted by the fear of starvation, thirst, and wild animals. And as the weather worsens, the men's chances of survival seem to dwindle.

But even in the darkest of times, the men never give up hope. They continue to fight for their survival, and they eventually find a way to return home.
