After double-crossing the rebel administration, William Bligh escapes Sydney on a naval warship, determined to take back the colony.

As Bligh sails off to his rendezvous with destiny, feuding with everyone he meets on the way, Macarthur and Johnston arrive in England to find a country headed by a tottering monarchy and engulfed in a continent-wide war.
