"Events of history, with the usual literary license, taken from three different points of view, to get a more complete view of the whole.
Mutiny on the Bounty tells the tale of the mutiny itself and what happened to those who stayed on Tahiti when eventually Captain Bligh returned to England and the search for the mutineers was on. It is told from the point of view of one of the young midshipmen, innocent of mutiny, who was forced to remain with the ship because there was not room in the launch. Even though you know he survives to tell the tale, there is much suspense.
Men Against the Sea tells of the sea voyage in an open launch that brought Captain Bligh and men loyal to him across 3600 miles of ocean to safety and civilization again.
Pitcairn's Island was the least familiar to me, and it tells of what happens to those who left Tahiti on the Bounty, and settled on Pitcairn's island. This combination of English sailors, some cultured, some very rough, and Island natives, men and women from Tahiti and its surrounding islands find the island they are aiming for. It is one thing to overthrow the captain of a vessel, it is another entirely to build a new culture on an uninhabited and isolated island. All the human faults and failings that made the sailors participants in a mutiny come to bear in this new setting.
Pitcairn's Island, written in third person, leaves one wondering who will survive, and who will not, to see the arrival of the next ship, twenty years later.
I'm very glad I took this one up, and read them all in sequence!"
