About this ebook
Son of a Norwegian master-mariner and grandson of Kaloni, the last of the great Polynesian navigators, Gunnar Thorkild is a man consumed by a dream. Convinced that the Polynesians' legendary Island of the Dead is real, he risks his career, his life-and those of his fellow adventurers-to find it. Shipwrecked on the very island they seek, the castaways are forced to leave behind everything they know and rely upon. To survive in this lush tropical paradise, they must make new laws of power and property, of sex and marriage. The Navigator is a gripping tale of sea lore, shipwreck and moral courage.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This book is about a professor who handpicks a crew to seek an uncharted island. He hopes to prove that it exists and to possibly settle on this island. This is a very good book.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is a good read. The book is based in the Pacific. Our adventure starts in Hawaii, a University Prof. is turned down for tenure, though he has brilliant publications of the Pacific Ocean, it Navigation and trade routes. He list in an appendix a mystical island of the navigators from legend. And writes it as if it is a fact. An island no one has ever seen.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Reread 27/12/2021 as part of the Covid reread of all books on my shelves. Good to reread with a fresh attitude. Great weaving of relationships and the problems arising when a small group is shipwrecked. The thread of Polynesian culture and history was very well presented and obviously researched. The final outcome was also a credible way to finish.
