The Scorpion Archipelago - by David Palin (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Some secrets should stay buried. Some destinations should never be explored.

When a legendary oceanographer announces one final expedition, his archaeologist daughter, Jane Sutch, joins him on a journey shrouded in secrecy. Accompanied by a vaunted photographer and Jane's reckless husband, whose motives are far from pure, the team set off for a remote, unmapped group of islands, unknown to the modern world.

What they discover is more than just a forgotten civilisation. A trap laid centuries ago is triggered, ancient evils start to resurface, and history begins to repeat itself. At the heart of the Archipelago, they uncover buried truths - both within the island and within themselves - truths that were never meant to resurface.

The Scorpion Archipelago is a haunting exploration of obsession, belief, and the cost of uncovering the truth. A dark and atmospheric thriller laced with ancient mystery and unsettling power.
