Reseña del editor:

Often called the most idyllic paradise in the world, Hawaii is visted by 7 million tourists every year--but they don't all make it back. Some die in ways that are unique to the islands--they get swept out to sea by rogue waves, crash in helicoptors flown by inexperienced pilots, or fall into molten lava when the seemingly solid ground suddenly gives way. More visitors die every year in Hawaii than are killed by terrorists in Israel. Many of Hawaii's dangers are hidden; the locals may know, but visitors almost never do. Every year, innocent tourists die in Hawaii because they didn't have the vital infomation that could have prevented a tragedy.
