Book Club #1

Summary: As the book starts out, we are introduced to the main character, Will Faraday. Will Faraday has shipwrecked on an island named Pala. He arrives on the island badly injured as a result from the shipwreck. We are then introduced to Dr. Robert Mcphail who comes to Will's rescue and helps him with his injured knee. We are also introduced to Dr. Mcphail's assistant, Vitaya. As Will is being treated in the hospital we learn a little bit more about his background story and how he ended up on the island. The man Will is working for, Joe Aldehyde, sent him to go to the Rani to try and sell oil. As he was sailing, a storm shipwrecks his boat onto Pala.
