The story is set in the treacherous and exotic backdrop of the Solomon Islands, focusing on David Sheldon, a white man managing a plantation while combating a severe illness and an outbreak among the local native population. The narrative explores themes of survival, cultural clashes, and the tension between the colonizers and the native people. The
beginning of the novel introduces us to Sheldon, who is gravely ill and tasked with treating sick locals amidst a raging fever outbreak, likely caused by a dangerous disease known as punatauti (dengue fever). Struggling with his own health, he navigates unsettling dynamics with the island's inhabitants, who are portrayed as both fearful and resentful. As the plot unfolds, the tension escalates, revealing Sheldon's fears of losing control over his plantation and the natives' growing defiance. This initial section lays the groundwork for a gripping adventure teeming with life-and-death stakes and interpersonal conflict as Sheldon tries to maintain order while illness and distrust threaten both his life and the community he leads.
