Thomas John Derry: Carried Away, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Blurb

A tropical surf escape turns catastrophic when a tsunami hits, thrusting four best friends into a harrowing fight for survival and leaving themstranded on a remote island-injured, disoriented, and cut off from the world.

For Cole, the journey was meant to be a break from routine-surf, sun, and a chance to reset. But an unexpected connection with Kendal, a grounded and perceptive traveler, disarms him. Her quiet strength upends his plans, and their romance blooms quickly in paradise. But just as something real begins to take root, everything is swept away.

A massive wave leaves their group stranded on a remote Indonesian island with no communication, limited supplies, and one of their own gravely injured . As the days stretch on, they're forced to confront not only starvation , exposure, and predators-but their own unraveling psyches. The paradise they came to enjoy becomes a crucible that tests every instinct, bond, and belief.

Told with visceral realism and poetic restraint, Carried Away explores the fragile boundaries between fear and love , chaos and clarity, life and loss. It's a story about what happens when the illusion of safety is stripped away-and how we fight to hold on to what matters most.

For fans of The Beach , Into the Wild , Unbroken , and Where the Crawdads Sing , Carried Away is a gripping debut about friendship, survival, and the beautiful brutality of waking up to your own life.
