Publisher's Synopsis
This is the abridged edition with some of the more risque and distressing scenes in the original novel edited to appeal to a broader readership. 1840 After forty years of loyal service to the British Crown, Sir John Turner Flinn was looking forward to a comfortable retirement, instead he's been sentenced to transportation to an Australian Prison Colony for the term of his natural life. This tale has it all. Sex, a hostage rescue, court room drama, robbery under arms and even a royal scandal. It's based upon a true story and is backed by meticulous research. T.S. Flynn grew up in an English seaside town, where 'every day was like Sunday', emigrated to Australia in 1993 and has worked in Afghanistan, Mozambique, Indonesia, South Africa and the Solomon Islands for government, humanitarian and academic organizations. He holds an MBA from Cranfield University and was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts.
