Descriere: From the number one bestselling author comes a swashbuckling tale of mutiny and murder in paradise . . . Even Paradise can turn into a nightmare . . . The Mutiny on the Bounty is the most famous uprising in naval history. Led by Fletcher Christian, a desperate crew cast sadistic Captain Bligh adrift. They swap cruelty and the lash for easy living in the island heaven of Tahiti. However, paradise turns out to have a darker side . . . Mr Christian dies in terrible agony. The Bounty burns.
