Synopsis
Seventeen men survived the shipwreck of the rum-smuggling Sydney Cove but only three are picked up on a beach near the isolated settlement of Sydney in 1797. The three men have walked hundreds of miles across an alien landscape. They are distressed and injured. Their accounts of the ordeal are evasive and conflicting. Tasked with investigating their stories, Lieutenant Joshua Grayling comes to realize that there might be something or someone behind the fourteen missing men. And as the full horror of the journey emerges, Grayling begins to wonder whether his own family is also in danger.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Very good condition. Ex library copy with all external stickers removed. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Preservation, based on the true story of the wreck of the Sydney Cove, sees master storyteller Jock Serong turn his talents to historical narrative. On a beach not far from the isolated settlement of Sydney in 1797, a fishing boat picks up three shipwreck survivors, distressed and terribly injured. They have walked hundreds of miles across a landscape whose features?and inhabitants?they have no way of comprehending. They have lost fourteen companions along the way. Their accounts of the ordeal are evasive. It is Lieutenant Joshua Grayling's task to investigate the story. He comes to realise that those fourteen deaths were contrived by one calculating mind and, as the full horror of the men's journey emerges, he begins to wonder whether the ruthless killer poses a danger to his own family.
