I enjoyed the original novel, which was a very realistic Robinson Crusoe kind of adventure, first published in Adventure magazine.
The novel was written by J. Allan Dunn in response to a challenge from Adventure’s editor to write a realistic shipwreck novel of survival, with no “convenient coconuts or self sacrificing fish“
