Located some 600 miles from the coast of India, Sentinel Island is the home of the last people entirely cut off from the modern world, the Sentinelese. No one knows where they come from, what language they speak, their beliefs. Only one thing is certain: for centuries they have violently rejected outsiders who set foot on their island, including Venetian travellers, British colonists, shipwrecked Chinese, Malaysian poachers, European monarchs, or American missionaries. Sentinel Island tells the story of this people and of Krish and Markus, two friends who have little in common other than their fascination with this forbidden island. One is an anthropologist of Indian origin in a badly fraught marriage to an American woman; the other an unmarried New York editor, heir to an enormous fortune built in the art market. Swept up in a grand adventure, Sentinel Island is the story of peoples in far-flung places, friendship, class relations, contemporary America, the gradual unravelling of an interracial marriage—and the story of globalization and those who attempt to escape it.

Anthropological novel about the little black skinned people we know as The Sentinelese. They are an untouched race that live on North Sentinel Island in the Andaman Ocean, (the Islands real name is Chiö-tá-kwö-kwe). Yet these endangered people are only 25 miles from a modern port settlement in the Andaman Islands called Port Blair. So little is known about them because they are unknown, mysterious, guarded and defensive. And they have been living the same way for thousands of years. With a belief in creation and benevolent spirits, they have a simplistic way of life, so basic they have no real concept of time as we know it. They will kill anyone who lands on their island unarmed, if they even managed to cross the sharp coral reef which is dangerous in itself. No one knows what they call themselves, but I did discover the real name of the island, as told by one who had left there and was recorded in an anthropologist's journal from the eighteen hundreds. I have therefore woven the story of this person into the book. There are many repeated YouTube clips and stories of these people, but no one had any real clue as to their actual lifestyle, beliefs and language, for their words are unintelligible to other islanders as they have been isolated for so long. 'Guardians of Fire' reveals as close to what is possible as anyone has attempted. As you read this story you will learn that they are not 'primitive', for they are better equipped to handle the world they know, than we are of ours. They are simplistic, but in some ways, they are better off than we are. This novel is based on whatever scant information can be found from journals, historical data, books written from British officials who have visited the island in the eighteen hundreds and right up to the nineteen nineties when some limited but meaningful contact was made by an Indian anthropologist Dr TD Pandit. I have discovered much about these people while doing that research. Although a novel, it is based on accurate observation of similar tribes in the area. I wrote this book because I wanted to know more about them myself. I can now share that with you as you journey with these amazing people over the last 200 years. You will be with them as they experience white humans for the first time, capture by the British, Japanese strafing in WW2, earthquakes and tsunami's. These are not only an isolated people but ones who are very resilient to that which goes on all around them which both fascinates and frightens them. I hope this book reveals the need to ensure absolute protection of these wonderful, special, but highly endangered people. Enjoy your discovery.

*Includes pictures *Includes online resources and a bibliography for further reading There is no record of Marco Polo ever visiting the Andaman Islands, so his brief description of the islanders must have been drawn from a secondary source. They were, he wrote, "a most brutish and savage race, having heads, eyes, and teeth like those of dogs. They are very cruel, and kill and eat every foreigner whom they can lay their hands upon." Most subsequent travelers and travelogues have tended to agree, although in an age of inclusion and diversity, the modern understanding and appreciation of the indigenous Andamanese is somewhat more sympathetic. Nonetheless, that one common theme has persisted, in particular in the many colonial-era chronicles, which were all written at a time when Darwin and his contemporaries were rationalizing evolution, and evolutionary divergence. How could it be, they ask, that a small pocket of the human race could be content to linger so far behind in the journey of human development? The Andaman and Nicobar Islands comprise a tiny archipelago of some 200 islands in the Indian Ocean. They are located in a seemingly insignificant spot in the Bay of Bengal, comprising a combined area of only 3,500 square miles, but the islands are a tropical idyll, populated by dark Indians drawn mainly from the east coast, with a curious aboriginal people who appear more African than Asian. The islands have been within sight of international shipping routes since the very birth of ocean travel, and yet, until the arrival of the great European trading enterprises, the archipelago remained virtually unvisited, and absolutely unsettled by any other than its indigenous inhabitants. The Sentinelese: The History of the Uncontacted People on North Sentinel Island profiles the indigenous people, famous attempts to contact them, and what's known and unknown about them. Along with pictures of important people, places, and events, you will learn about the Sentinelese like never before.

SEEKING TO CONTACT HUMANITY'S LOST TRIBE... On the precipice of a cliff, contemplating suicide, dishonorably discharged U.S. Army Ranger, Rowan Baer, is invited to provide security to a research team visiting the most dangerous island in the world--North Sentinel Island in the Sea of Bengal. Seeking redemption, he accepts. Living among Amazon rainforest tribes, eccentric Israeli anthropologist, Talia Mayer, is recruited to study the island's elusive inhabitants--the Sentinelese--who have resided on the tropical island since the dawn of mankind. Seeing the chance of a lifetime, she joins the team. On the run from his past, Palestinian linguist, Mahdi Barakat, is given little choice: join the expedition and make contact with the Sentinelese, or be left to face the men tracking him down. Afraid for his life, he finds safe harbor halfway around the world. As part of an expedition funded by the Indian government and supported by a local resort millionaire, the team struggles to make contact with the Sentinelese, a tribal people renowned for their violence, strange behavior, and mysterious ways. But when the expedition's yacht strikes a reef, and sinks, the team finds themselves stranded on an island few people have ever set foot on and survived, an island that they quickly discover is home to far more than primitive tribal people. ...THEY UNCOVER THE VERY SOURCE OF EVIL. Jeremy Robinson has been compared to both Matthew Reilly and Stephen King, and with Forbidden Island, he brings the characters and plotting of the fastest paced thrillers together with mind-bending horrors of which only an imagination like Robinson's can conceive.

Murder and madness in the tropics. A back-packer's nightmare. Twenty-six-year-old Jimmy Brennan’s life has taken a turn for the worse, and he’s desperate to numb the pain. When his mother dies and his girlfriend betrays him, it’s the final straw; he leaves Australia behind, bound for Bali. But Jimmy’s demons chase him. Sickened by the filth and the rapacious tourists swarming the Indonesian holiday island, Jimmy escapes north up the archipelago, driven by a desire to be alone, and haunted by a self-destructive impulse. When he’s offered the opportunity to surf the outer reefs of the forbidden island of North Sentinel, home of a forgotten tribe which has violently rejected outside contact for centuries, Jimmy is reckless enough to take it. He finds his paradise, but it’s a decision that will have deadly consequences. “Exceptional!” - Ray Bisschop, publishing director, Surfing Life “Kicks along at a freight-train pace!” - Luke Kennedy, editor, Tracks magazine "They don't write them like this any more." - North and South magazine "Addictive and highly recommended!" - Otago Daily Times "Captivating and fast-paced!" - NZ Booklovers "One hell of a ride!" - The New Zealand Herald "Fast-paced and utterly immersive, with passages that will have your heart leaping into your throat.
