Captain William Bligh, zuvor Steuermann bei James Cooks Weltumseglung, führt die "Bounty" zur Brotfruchtpflanzenlieferung. Eine Meuterei unter Fletcher Christian zwingt Bligh, mit wenigen Getreuen in einem kleinen Boot zu fliehen. Der zweite Band schildert Blighs beeindruckende Navigation über 3000 Seemeilen nach Batavia. Die Erzählung basiert auf umfangreichen Dokumenten der Admiralität.

Unter dem Kommando von Captain William Bligh segelt im Jahr 1789 die »Bounty«, ein bewaffnetes Transportschiff, von Tahiti zu den Westindischen Inseln. Doch die Rückfahrt führt in die Katastrophe: Wegen der brutalen Strenge des Kapitäns bricht die wohl bekannteste Meuterei der Geschichte der Seefahrt aus. Auf dem umfangreichen Tatsachenmaterial der britischen Admiralität haben die beiden Autoren das Thema in einem großartigen Roman voller Spannung aufbereitet.

The narrative follows Captain Bligh and 19 loyal men as they embark on a perilous 3,600-mile journey in a small open boat, showcasing extraordinary bravery and survival against the odds. In contrast, the story of Pitcairn's Island reveals a darker tale of betrayal, murder, and vengeance among the mutineers, led by Christian, and a group of Tahitians seeking refuge on a remote island. Together, these accounts highlight the complexities of human nature in extreme circumstances.
