Lost On The Island

Masked gunmen overthrow the Government of Fiji. A story of international greed, betrayal and sex. Fiji already had a goldmine but now, with its newly discovered mahogany plantations, it has money growing on trees. The author combines the backgrounds of several recent rebellions in Fiji as the basis for a novel that tells a story of MI5 and CIA involvement and of Australian forces sent into the area. Governments, money-launderers are all descending on Fiji, seeking rights to the mahogany billions. This novel is also the story of friendship and love between men and women of different races: an enigmatic Englishman, who has always secretly seen himself as a spy, a mysterious young Indian woman, and an overseas-educated Fijian determined to bring democracy to his country. Internationally-acclaimed novelist Victor Barker lived for many years in Fiji, with friends among politicians, businessmen, Fijian spirit men, Indian mystics, waterside hustlers and international idealists.
