Jack London (1876-1916) was an American novelist, journalist and social activist. Pioneering the genre of magazine fiction and prototyping science fiction, he became one of the first writers, who gained worldwide fame and a large fortune. Being a sequel to "Jerry of the Islands" this novel tells the story of Jerry's sibling, Irish terrier Michael, born in the Solomon Islands. The dog works as a slave hunter on a schooner recruiting native islanders for work. One day the captain accidentally leaves Michael on a beach and sails away, thereby forcing Michael to go on a journey in which he must find a new owner.
