After being shipwrecked, nine average men of varying background and experiences finally reach land. With no tools, no weapons, no supplies-not so much as a penknife or watch-crystal among them-the castaways realize they can endure their isolation only by working as a team and making ingenious use of their limited knowledge. But Nature's most hostile forces are arrayed against them, and when prolonged privation eventually drives one of the nine mad, their chances of survival and further diminished.Written by prolific fictioneer J. Allan Dunn at the best of Adventure editor Arthur Sullivant Hoffman-who imposed strict limitations on the storytelling devices Dunn could employ-Barehanded Castaways was widely acclaimed. A sequel, The Island, was published the following year, and when Adventure solicited opinions on which stories should be reprinted in its 25th anniversary issue, Castaways was the number one choice of the magazine's long-time readers.This is number five in the ten-volume collection "Forgotten Classics of Pulp Fiction."
