I was expecting it to follow the adventures of Bowen Tyler and Lys after they accept their fate as being finally stranded in Caspak beyond hope of rescue. Instead it follows the adventures of Tom Billings, the man who finds the message in a bottle that Tyler threw into the sea at the end of the previous novel. He and his companions attempt to land on Caspak and Tom adventures across the land accompanied by a woman he meets, Ajor. This novel relies less on action and more of how Tom discovers more about the complicated societies on the island, where individual members of tribes progress through levels from apelike creatures to increasingly higher forms of humanity. This makes the novel somewhat more intellectually interesting but less readable as an adventure story.
