Clearly, the research Nordhoff/Hall conducted into the preparation of their famous Bounty Trilogy paid off with a sort of twofer. It enabled them a head start on their research of London and England in the late 18th century as well as giving some prior insights into the settlement of Australia, which was to be governed in the very early years of the 19th century by William Bligh, who was made notorious through his depiction in the Trilogy.
The story of the novel itself is epic in scope, while also focusing on the intimacies of poverty and injustice in England and the dangers and thrills of settling a new continent. For good measure, Nordhoff/Hall throw in yet another long sea voyage in a small launch that, while it does not rival that of Men Against the Sea, nonetheless makes for eager turning of the pages. ( )
