Cannibal Island
By Cornell DeVille
Richie’s father had become obsessed
with finding the legendary Golden Disk and along the way it became Richie’s
passion too. One day Richie comes across an older man who is trying to sell a
map with an island on it that is shrouded in mist. Richie offers to buy it from
the man and learns that there is more to the story of the map, the old man
himself has been to this island and warns of cannibals but also tells Richie of
the treasure to be found there.
This is definitely a book for young
men, it is full of action and adventure as you set sail on one of his father’s
prized ships this story will literally take you around the world. I have never
read a steam punk novel before but what I found out was I thoroughly enjoyed
it, reminding me of DaVinci’s inventions that where before his time, such as
LEO. If you don’t know what steam punk is, it is a sub-genre of science fiction
for instance the movie with Will Smith called Wild Wild West is classified as
Steam Punk where the technology is far superior than it was in reality. The author
goes into a ton of details so you will know exactly what he is talking about as
the story progresses, I loved how vividly he brought to life the ship, The
Seahorse. All in all this is an amazing novel even if you aren’t a hard core
steam punk fan.
