A group of young students stuck on an island?
Perhaps it would have been better if he hadnt slept with his subject, but there you go.
Except, their story is missing many months worth of activity.
Primalis in two parts Ysans Story and Aftershocks.
These characteristics are painted on with a trowel and form the weakest part of the narrative.
Its in the second part of the book that things heat up.
Its all told with such verve that you quickly forget the shortcomings of the material.
After all, if these things really did happen, then with proof there comes guilt.
Sadly, once again, this is a weakness in the book.
The ending isnt very satisfactory and becomes, even within the confines of the text, a bit fantastical.
Yes, it does.
Its definitely worth a read.
Primal is available in paperbacknow.
