"Hiney writes plainly and clearly. His story is crammed with drama and exotica (it contains a dozen novels in embryo), and where some writers would give way to the purple passage and the descriptive aria, Hiney allows people and events to speak for themselves....[O]ne effect of Hiney's superb marshalling of his material is to set the Christian worshipper alongside the Tahitian in from of his stone idol and the Hindu devotee suspended mid-air from a hook passing through the skin of his back."Hiney, Tom is the author of 'On the Missionary Trail A Journey Through Polynesia, Asia, and Africa With the London Missionary Society' with ISBN 9780802138385 and ISBN 0802138381.
