                I took the cryptic indication 'castaway' to give Acts, ie the sequel (='successor'?) to Luke's Gospel.

                      Not really.

                      I thought Luke / the Acts are generally regarded as by the same writer(s) and one is considered to follow directly from the other?

                        Fair enough, i thought the conventional order was Matthew Mark Luke John Acts. Wiki suggests likewise, but I'm nitpicking
