Dark Danger in God’s Paradise

From dust jacket The year is 1772 when the handsome Moor, Captain Hakeem Sulam, sets sail from Spain at the king’s orders – an effort to avert a scandal resulting from an amorous dalliance of the Moor’s – for a Spanish colony in the Philippines. On board are two lovely daughters of the aristocracy on their way to seek adventure and happiness in the Philippines. But when their ship sinds somewhere in the Pacific, Marthae and Marguerite get a little more than they bargained for, stranded on an island with the Moor and several of his crew, all of whom seem to have their eyes on the young senoritas. The island they have landed on seems uninhabited and idyllic – until the crew spots watchful eyes peering at them in the darkness of the night and stumbles across the beginnings of some bizarre burial rite. The question is, are the natives friendly or not? Dark Danger in God’s Paradise, by authors M. L. And A. R. Tureaud, is a romantic adventure story of the age of exploration, and the dangers – and pleasures – that accompanied it.
