"One morning a small ship leaves Hawaii with a group of men and women whose aim is to find a single uncharted island lying among the thousands of the vast Polynesian archipelago. the most dynamic figure on board, through not the captain, is Gunnar Thorkild, a man of unusual magnetism - grandson of the last great Polynesian navigator. His future at the Institute of Pacific Studies in Hawaii depends on discovering the legendary island to which all the navigators are said to go in the eve of their death, for he has, without presenting a shred of real evidence, rashly proclaimed its existence in a scientific paper."
