The Demon Island

Úlfur, a young Icelandic scientist, finds a tribe of mysterious creatures living in the jungle of a remote island in the Pacific. They are called demons by the locals, but he suspects that they are victims of genetic experiments on humans, and his quest for an explanation leads him to terrifying revelations about his employer and himself. In THE DEMON ISLAND, Icelandic author Gangleri balances real possibilities of modern science with history, creating a plausible background for a suspenseful human drama, colored with Japanese themes. THE DEMON ISLAND will leave the reader with haunting thoughts about the consequences of scientific innovation, but also a new understanding of human nature and the timeless search for purpose in our lives.
