Walking Adventure

When the cargo ship goes down, Imani Cole washes up alone on a black-sand beach with a busted radio, a dented toolbox, and ten days before the world stops looking for her. Out past the surf there is nothing but blue water to the horizon. Inland, a single dark peak trails a thread of smoke into the sky — the only place a passing ship could ever see a fire. Between her and that summit lies the whole uncharted island, and it has no intention of letting her cross.

Hack through emerald jungle to a stream that keeps you alive. Pole a lashed-bamboo raft across a turquoise lagoon while reef sharks circle the coral below. Ride out a screaming squall in a sea cave, edge across a felled trunk over a bottomless ravine, sweat through a fever under broad leaves, and free-climb a wall of crumbling lava with the canopy spinning far beneath your boots. Every mile is a fight, and every step forward is one closer to being found.

The Castaway Signal is a step-by-step survival trek across jungle, reef, and lava cliff to a single beacon on a smoking summit. Stack the pyre. Strike the spark. And as a far-off smudge of ship-smoke crawls along the edge of the world, gamble everything on one fire — and find out whether anyone is still watching.
