I like that there's a little of just about everything thrown in at Palmyra... Lets tally it up and see...

A Double murder with Criminal Hippie types
Skeletal remains, newpaper clippings as clues
Psychic Forboding Sense by Travellers passing thur
Synchronicity of events with past island Travellers
Charts that wash up close to past island Travellers
Island Travellers frightened off the island by Strange Hippie types
Castaway Island Travellers and storm damaged ships
Drifting Ships with dead crewman
Similar named Ships and Families involved
Psychic powers manifested by Travellers passing thur or dieing there
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Thats 23 different hazards, events and situations all occuring on a less than 11KM Island in the most remote part of the Pacific Ocean...
Damned if there is'nt a Freaking GREAT adventure story line somewhere in all this...
(And for Apache... I've never been there but recently stumbled upon it wanting a nice quite US Pacific Island to disappear to if things get really bad... But I've come back to the story of Palmyra 3 times now in less than 6 months)
Guess I'm glad I live in the Rockys and I've never been to the Island...
