The summer of 1986. Central Texas. William and his friends should be having a blast. Instead, they are hounded by the Thousand Oaks Gang and their merciless leader, Bloody Billy. William found Billy's backpack. And because of what it contains, Billy desperately wants it back, and he'll do anything to get it. William hatches a plan for his friends to sneak away and hide in an abandoned lake house, except they become stranded on the lake's desolate island without food or water. Will their time on the island devolve into chaos? Will the friends survive and be rescued?

The Benevolent Lords of Sometimes Island is Lord of the Flies meets The Body by Stephen King, the inspiration for the classic movie Stand By Me.

A gripping suspense story with adventure and danger, tinged with humorous banter between the four friends, the middle schoolers face certain death without adults to protect them from the unrelenting natural elements, as well as the wild creatures that lurk in the wilderness around the lake. With a backpack filled with money and marijuana they stole from the merciless gang leader, it's only a matter of time before the high schoolers come looking for them, too.

From award-winning writer Scott Semegran, The Benevolent Lords of Sometimes Island is his eighth book. This novel is Semegran's response to William Golding's 1954 novel Lord of the Flies, which was Golding's response to The Coral Island by R. M. Ballantyne, an adventure novel from 1858. All three novels tackle the premise of boys stranded on an island, with Semegran's novel taking a decidedly modern view of a group of friends in Central Texas during the summer of 1986 working to survive in a situation filled with danger and desperation with only each other to rely on.

Just buy them
Color: Black,navy,burgundy,brown, Size: Small
Used to wear sliders all the time, figured i'd switch it up. These are super comfortable, probably the best material underwear I own. Great to just lounge around it or wear everyday. Fit is really good, I got a small and about 29-30" waist. Good bang for your buck too. I've washed them a handful of times and they hold up great, fit great and dont' shrink.

Good underwear. Husband likes them.
Color: Black, Size: Large
Husband wears XL and XL fit well. This is the second pack I got for him. They are decent quality, look and feel nice, not baggy yet not too tight anywhere. They are somewhat thin (but still supportive) and do not make him sweat more so he loves that. No problems washing (they didn’t shrink). Will continue to repurchase these.

Comfortable
Color: Black,navy,burgundy,brown, Size: Medium
I have had a lifetime of different briefs, some name brand, some generic. I am 165 lbs, wear Medium, and these are closest to feeling commando of anything I’ve ever worn. Comfortable, not too tight waist and legs, and yes silky touch yet not slinky. Maybe not for support wear, but casual and cool comfort, the “Cat’s meow”. I just came on to order some more

Great fabric - pouch too small!
Color: Black, Size: X-Large
First, the fabric used is wonderfully soft and comfortable. It;s the first thing noticed when package was opened. Strange, but the elastic waistband is about 1/2", very similar to a woman's style panty. But it's comfortable and easily acceptable. The main problem is that the pouch that holds your "stuff" in place, is oddly and unnaturally small. Small enough where this average man's "stuff" tends to fall out of the pouch on one side or the other. I sleep in my underwear, and every time I did with these, I awoke with the front pouch off to the side and everything down there was hanging outside of the underwear. They also seem to do well through a wash cycle. However, if the main reason for wearing underwear is to keep your stuff in place, these fail from the beginning. I ordered another brand from overseas, and they had the exact same problems as these! I wonder if that's just how they make them outside of the USA. The Bottom Line? Uncle Steve Disapproved!

Premium cotton underwear at a modest price. Highly recommend!
Color: Multicolora6-4 Pack, Size: X-Large
Bought my husband 2 variety packs of these, and they are still great over 2 years in. High quality cotton briefs are breathable, colors are vibrant, and the fit is spot on. A good value at this price point compared to designer brands, and the product overall exceeds expectations in terms of comfort level, durability and appearance.
