AbstractHistoryArchive Description

It was one of the greatest human experiments ever undertaken: to populate an unknown land with the criminal, the unloved and the unwanted of English society. Amid conditions of brutality, 'The First Fleet' was sent to a place that no European but the legendary Captain Cook had ever seen. Left to live or die on the hostile Australian continent, these convicts - and their equally isolated guards - occupy the centre of this story. And Richard Morgan - convicted felon - makes an indelible mark upon the new frontier. A historical saga, rich in romance and drama. (Source: Trove)

Notes

  • Dedication: For Ric, Brother John, Wayde, Joe, Helen, and all the other many hundreds of people alive today who can trace their roots directly to Richard Morgan. But most of all, this book is for my beloved Melinda, the five-times-great-granddaugter of Richard Morgan.
  • Epigraph: We are born owning many qualities; some we may never know we possess. It all depends what kind of run God gives us.
  • Also translated into other languages not listed here.
