It was one of the greatest human experiments ever undertaken: to populate an unknown land with the criminal, the unloved and the unwanted of English society. Amid conditions of brutality that paralleled those of slavery, "The First Fleet" was sent to a place no European but the legendary Captain Cook had ever seen.
Richard Morgan - convicted felon and educated, intelligent, resourceful man - finds the will to survive, experience the joys of love, and finally make an indelible mark upon the new frontier.
A thoroughly researched historical saga rich in romance, adventure, and unforgettable characters, 'Morgan's Run' has the makings of a modern classic.
