Book Description

Publication Date: 2 Feb 2012 | Series: Quick Reads 2012

From the number one bestselling author comes a swashbuckling tale of mutiny and murder in paradise . . .

Even Paradise can turn into a nightmare . . .

The Mutiny on the Bounty is the most famous uprising in naval history. Led by Fletcher Christian, a desperate crew cast sadistic Captain Bligh adrift. They swap cruelty and the lash for easy living in the island heaven of Tahiti. However, paradise turns out to have a darker side . . .

Mr Christian dies in terrible agony. The Bounty burns. Cursed by murder and treachery, the rebels’ dreams turn to nightmares, and all hope of seeing England again is lost forever.

A story of low treachery and high adventure, murder under the palm trees, trouble in paradise and a lost Eden in the South Seas.

4.0 out of 5 stars A tale of adventure 27 Feb 2012
By C. Colley TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Paperback
Beyond the Bounty is a short fictional story about the mutineers that landed on Pitcairn Island, after the crew overthrew Captain Bligh from the Royal Navy ship, HMS Bounty.
Prior to reading this book I knew very little about this famous part of naval history. This story, along with a bit of research has enlightened me no end.
I really enjoyed this book. I found it interesting and entertaining, and I really only gave it a go because it was a Quick Read. I thought the subject would not really interest me and was pleasantly surprised.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant read 25 Feb 2012
By Lynn M
Format:Paperback
My Book Club randomly selected this book for our meeting on World Book Day and it was an excellent choice. It is a brilliant book, very short but with so much packed into very few pages, it really does not feel like a quick read. I read the book in an hour but it will stay with me for much longer. It is such an interesting story, a fictionous account of what happened to the mutinous sailors from the Bounty whilst on Pitcain Island, and there is a surprising twist at the end. The book has inspired me to find out more about this historic event. I have read several of Tony Parson's books and this is my favourite, however I have to say that it reminded me in many ways of Lord of the Flies.
