Richard Morgan is the son of a Bristol tavern-keeper, a devoted husband and loving father, and a sober and hardworking craftsman. By the machinations of fate and the vagaries of the 18th-century English judicial system, he is consigned as a convict to the famous “First Fleet,” which set sail – bearing, as an experiment in penology, 582 and 193 female felons sentenced to transportation – in May of 1787 for the then newly discovered continent of Australia.
Only the word “epic” can describe one of the most grueling and significant voyages in human history, and the courage of the convicts whose sufferings were just beginning when they landed at Botany Bay. Morgan’s Run is great fiction, full of drama, passion, and history … a stunning work that is at once rich entertainment – and a revelation.
“The strength and resilience of her unforgettable hero makes this animated tale one of McCullough’s best to date.”
