Of a man of peace - a doctor - ensnared in the violence of the American revolution, forced to flee the former American colonies of King George III. Of a very young woman fighting for survival amid the injustice, poverty and corruption of early nineteenth Century Britain. A woman who is unjustly sentenced to transportation to Van Diemen's Land. British 'justice' was harsh beyond belief at this time and at its worst in its treatment of female convicts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt this point in history Britain and particularly the Royal Navy were all powerful and the American doctor sought anonymity under a new identity. He 'signed on' with a group of sealers who had their own notorious empire in the remote islands of Bass Strait. These sealers, to this day, are recognized as the most evil of men. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is in this lawless world that two good people meet. This is a world the writer\/ historian and master story teller Craig Godfrey understands very well. Though fictional his characters fiercely illuminate the times, the remoteness and the people that populate these colonies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a sweeping human panorama of the lives of convicts, free settlers, Aborigines and of good and evil. The action is constant often violent and yet love triumphs in the end. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWarren Boyles\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 614\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.36 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 01, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67841377370419,"sku":"9781950586615","price":36.03,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/2Szmn4qASQ9781950586615.webp?v=1793400560","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/1814-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
