An Excess Of... by Stuart Aken

Six random strangers escape drowning, against the odds, when their ship is wrecked, only to be stranded on a desert island, hundreds of miles from civilisation. Dangerously at odds on many fronts, they must work together to survive, or risk violence and death in this entirely unfamiliar environment. Mutual attraction promises to make allies of two, but can romance overcome the irrational beliefs of one and build a bond through the pragmatism of the other? Will the group be able to overcome prejudices, superstitions, and passionately held opinions to unite in action when they’re presented with an opportunity to escape their isolation? Or will ancient beliefs and traditions, fears and uncertainties, surface to place all in sudden peril as they prepare to risk everything in this unexpected chance to return to a world entirely changed during their absence?
