Synopsis
The tragic but inspiring story of Nikos. He is twenty two years old, handsome, clever and just graduated law school when he finds out he has leprosy. He is sent into exile to Spinalonga, a rock island of Crete where there is no food, no electricity, no medical help, no supplies, nothing. He catches an eagle as a unique way to source food then, armed with his education and natural instincts he decides to create a life of dignity for the inhabitants of Spinalonga in the style of the city state system of Ancient Greece. Pavlos a thug criminal sent there by the state from prison does everything in his power to maintain chaos and terror so as to keep control of the island. World War 2 breaks out and the Nazis invade and inflict horrors upon the Greek people. Nikos and the people of Spinalonga outsmart the Nazis and play a major role in the resistance.

From the Author
Some stories find you. I had read about the leper colony on Spinalonga and of the extraordinary young man who brought about the changes there, I just didn't know he would be banging down my door every night. The character of Nikos would not leave me alone so I had to give him a voice. Now, I have highly fictionalised the story. The part about the eagle is purely out of my imagination but I know Golden Eagles are in that part of the world so I thought it would make a good fit. The part about the Nazis is all based on fact. Really it is a story about the human need for order, creativity and love, and how those things can be used to overcome anything.
