She

A wartime sailor is left marooned on a remote desert island, one heart-pounding step ahead of Death as he is hunted here 24 hours a day by sharks, wild beasts, and mosquitoes. Abandoned and left for dead by his ship and crew and with monsters now tracking him down like bloodhounds, Marco discovers that he is not alone here. A mysterious woman known only as “She” also inhabits the island. Yet this is not the “She” of H. Rider Hagard and this is not the “Mysterious Island” of Jules Verne or the tropical paradise of Daniel Defoe’s “Robinson Crusoe”. Life expectancy here can be measured in mere minutes. Responding to his base primitive instincts for survival and his own desires for “She”, he seeks to obtain both at any price, retreating ever deeper into savagery and the wilds of his own mind to be tormented by thoughts of madness. Witness his epic struggle for survival on an island created as an inescapable prison for the goddess Stheno, sister of Medusa. Discover his Lost World and every man’s vision of the perfect woman. Explore the torments of the human mind as Marco balances a plan for escape with a love that cannot be destroyed or forgotten. Experience every man's downfall since Adam and every man's dream in the power of "She". Can Marco survive over Nature? Can he overcome the beauty and power of “She” or be her next victim? And did this story actually really happen?
