A Son of the Sun by Jack London

A SON OF THE SUN is a light-hearted south seas adventure by Jack London. David Grief was once a light-haired, blue-eyed youth who came from England to the South Seas in search of adventure. Tanned like a native and as lithe as a tiger, he became a real son of the sun. In the course of his travels, Grief encounters adventurers, scoundrels, swindlers, pirates, and cannibals.
