Dr Beckett and the Atlantis team embark on a mercy mission to save a community from an imminent volcanic eruption. Once infamous for harbouring a terrible disease, the small community has been ostracised, though they swear they are now free from sickness. But as the evacuation begins, it seems that the people may have been hiding a horrifying truth…
Review: Quite an interesting book, told from Carson Beckett's POV. I was glad that Carson didn't simply stick to his convictions rigidly. By the end of the book he understood why the leader did what he did, he understood that, with the means available and with no one willing to help, they really didn't have much choice. I think the point of this book was the understanding that it's easy to criticize when it's not you doing the tough decisions.
