Description
The crew of the HMS Bounty were free from their hated captain, but what now?   Their old lives were over. And the ferocious Polynesians weren't interested in sharing their islands with British sailors.   As the crewmembers couple up with the few women aboard, resentment simmers when there aren't enough companions for everyone.   All the while, Christian Fletcher walks a tightrope as the crew begins to sour to his leadership.   Surely, somewhere in the boundless ocean there was a place for the mutineers to start afresh… The bloody end to the mutiny of HMS Bounty.
