| Summary | "Fire Island" by George Manville Fenn is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows a group of naturalists and sailors aboard the brig "Planet" as they encounter a series of harrowing challenges during a tumultuous storm and volcanic eruption, ultimately leading to survival on a mysterious island. The characters grapple with the dire circumstances, showcasing elements of adventure and the resilience of the human spirit. At the start of the book, the crew of the "Planet" finds themselves in a violent storm while navigating the waters near New Guinea. Amid the chaos, Oliver Lane, one of the naturalists, reflects on the disparity between his expectations of exotic beauty and the terrifying reality of their predicament. As the storm worsens, the ship is battered, and panic sets in. With the captain incapacitated, the first chapter lays the groundwork for gripping tension and the characters’ desperate attempts to survive, entangling readers in an atmosphere of suspense and uncertainty about their fate.
