Flying a routine supply run, Daisy Blackwoods plane is hijacked by a crazed scientist on the run. In possession of an object thats driven his men mad with desire to possess it, he orders Daisy to take him to a mysterious island where he hopes to finally destroy his burden. Complicating matters is his pursuer, a relentless, and seemingly unstoppable bounty hunter tasked with returning the object to her employers. The Cursed Island is a loving tribute to the original pulp serials full of high adventure, exotic locales, and daring deeds. Unlike the old serials, however, each Daisy Blackwood book contains a complete adventure, allowing it to stand on its own apart from other volumes in the series.
