A missing scientist who holds dark secrets.
A Caribbean island so frightening even the locals won’t set foot on its shores.
Biophysicist Noah Lind has gone into hiding, protecting information that can’t get into the wrong hands.
When Lind is kidnapped off the streets of Tel Aviv, it’s clear a shadowy group needs him in order to carry out their sinister plans.
Already overseas investigating a related matter, Zane Watson and the Delphi Group follow a trail of clues across Europe, from a night train in Paris to a mountain chateau in Switzerland. The team eventually learns that Lind has been taken to a private island in the Caribbean. The island has a chilling reputation, from missing persons to strange creatures that defy explanation. Are the stories real, or are they just myths cooked up by superstitious locals?
As the Delphi team arrives on the island’s haunted shores, they soon learn a shocking truth: there is an evil lurking in the jungle there, and it’s an evil like they’ve never encountered before.
If you like page-turning thrillers with a touch of science fiction and horror, then you’ll love The Island.

Fast Action! This was my first time actually reading Sneeden's work even though I've owned most of them almost since he started publishing his tales a few years ago. And man, I have been missing out! This was a very fast action/ adventure book that probably took the same amount of time as usual to actually read a novel of its length (roughly 300 pages, iirc) - but felt like half that or less. There are a couple of points where Sneeden goes somewhat in depth on previous events presumably shown in previous novels, so for those who are sensitive to spoilers this may not be the best book to start with. But for anyone else, while going back to Book 1 (The Signal) may be ideal, starting here isn't bad either. Great book, very much recommended.
