I read this in March 2016. I picked it up at a bus station book shelf/swap shelf. I thought it would be good to read after just rereading Brave New World.
A Journalist (Will Farnaby) working on the Far East is ship wrecked on the Island of Pala, where it's people live in peace and harmony. There is a potential takeover of the Island's Oil reserves and various factions are vying for the rights. conveniently the natives all speak English and there is advanced medicine.
I found this a bit more 'of it's time' than BNW. Too wordy and a bit laborious to read.
6/10
