Description

From the number one bestselling author comes a swashbuckling tale of mutiny and murder in paradise . . .
Even Paradise can turn into a nightmare . . .

The Mutiny on the Bounty is the most famous uprising in naval history. Led by Fletcher Christian, a desperate crew cast sadistic Captain Bligh adrift. They swap cruelty and the lash for easy living in the island heaven of Tahiti. However, paradise turns out to have a darker side . . .

Mr Christian dies in terrible agony. The Bounty burns. Cursed by murder and treachery, the rebels dreams turn to nightmares, and all hope of seeing England again is lost forever.

A story of low treachery and high adventure, murder under the palm trees, trouble in paradise and a lost Eden in the South Seas.
