'Disease, madness and internal strife soon destroyed the white men's unity, and those that survived had a long terrifying fight for life, helped only by an island girl, Seyawa, with whom one of them fell in love.
Long Pig is immensely exciting; it gives an awesome account of cannibal practices; its love story is very moving: it is fully in the tradition of such great sea adventures as Mutiny on the Bounty and Pitcairn Island.'
