Isolated from the civilized world, the Island is guarded by armed sentinels with orders to shoot to kill anyone attempting to escape. Its inhabitants are hostages of a tyrannical ruler that keeps them enslaved. Their only hope is to flee the Island, but the price to pay is often too high. Driven by the birth of his firstborn child, Carlos decides to escape. His brother and three friends join him. But evading the guards is just the beginning. Their route to freedom is a 90-mile passage across “The Straits of Death”, a shark infested ocean with strong sea currents, and unpredictable storms. Only one in every four who venture into the crossing reaches his destination... alive. Follow these brave souls as they confront relentless guards, treacherous seas, and the cruel hand of fate. Their quest for love, family, and freedom becomes a testament to the indomitable human spirit. Every obstacle they overcome and every sacrifice they make carries them closer to a destiny they refuse to surrender. **This story is illustrated with authentic pictures taken during the expedition.

Sanger Rainsford is a big-game hunter, who finds himself washed up on an island owned by the eccentric General Zaroff. Zaroff, a big-game hunter himself, has heard of Rainsford’s abilities with a gun and organises a hunt. However, they’re not after animals – they’re after people. When he protests, Rainsford the hunter becomes Rainsford the hunted. Sharing similarities with "The Hunger Games", starring Jennifer Lawrence, this is the story that created the template for pitting man against man. Born in New York, Richard Connell (1893 – 1949) went on to become an acclaimed author, screenwriter, and journalist. He is best remembered for the gripping novel "The Most Dangerous Game" and for receiving an Oscar nomination for the screenplay "Meet John Doe".
