THE FINAL NOVEL IN THE BOOKER PRIZE-WINNING HISTORICAL FICTION _SEA
TRILOGY _BY THE AUTHOR OF _LORD OF THE FLIES._
_
I think there has been death in my hands._
On the last stretch of its epic voyage from England to Australia, a
disintegrating warship inches towards land. But there are still trials
ahead, as the vessel is smashed against an ice cliff and blasted by a
great storm, while the claustrophobic passengers battle erotic
desires, masculine rivalry and violent power struggles - all
experiencing a sea change in their natures. And when an unseen fire
begins to smoulder below decks, the other side of the world has never
seemed further away ...
