To celebrate the 200th anniversary of the mutiny on the Bounty, this is a reissue of Nordhoff's and Hall's classic Bounty Trilogy in one volume. It is a story of drunkenness, betrayal, murder and vengeance - a saga that will be remembered as long as men sail the sea.
The mutineers' tale is told in this conclusion to the "Bounty Trilogy". After fleeing to the island, Fletcher Christian and his men work together to establish what they envisage as the perfect society, but the community is ultimately shattered by human weakness, conflict and jealousy.
To coincide with the 200th anniversary of the infamous 1788-1789 journey of the HMS Bounty and a major exhibition at the National Maritime Museum, this is a reissue of the story of Fletcher Christian's mutiny against Captain Bligh, as told by Midshipman Roger Byam.
MEN AGAINST THE SEA is the epic story of the 19 loyal men who, with Captain Bligh at the helm, were set adrift in a 23-foot open launch. Their 3,600-mile voyage remains one of the greatest feats of courage and adventure in the annals of the sea.
This novel, the second in the "Bounty Trilogy", follows the fortunes of Captain Bligh and loyal crew members after they have been cast adrift in an open boat. Battling against starvation and attacks by savages, they eventually navigate their ill-equipped boat to the safety of the East Indies.
