Peter Benchley THE ISLAND First Edition 1979
First edition first print hardback of THE ISLAND by Peter Benchley and published by Andre Deutsch Ltd in 1979.The book is in very good condition (green cloth boards with gilt lettering to spine) with bumping to a couple of corners and light creasing to the head and tail of the spine and light age spotting to the top and bottom page edges. The book is in a very good unclipped dust jacket which has very light creasing to the edges and a very small moisture stain to the bottom left corner at the back. Internally the pages are clean and tight and there are no tears or inscriptions. Overall, a very presentable copy.
Two men and a boy, on the boat they charter to game-fishermen, are lazing away the hottest hours of a Caribbean day when they notice a cameo which appears to be adrift. They manoeuvre it alongside their boat, one of the men reaches to pull back the tarpaulin which conceals whatever it contains and the reader receives a jolting shock which reminds him of those famous first pages of Jaws.
Thus starts one of the many mysterious marine incidents which, over the years, have been explained this way or that, and which in one small area of the Caribbean have given rise to a terrified silence. New York journalist Blair Maynard is intrigued by the variety of the explanations, but it is not until he reaches the place where silence reigns, and can see the silhouette of the island at its centre, that he begins to suspect that he is on to something truly extraordinary.
