Book Review of Morgan's Run

Morgan's Run
reviewed on + 26 more book reviews


It was one of the greatest human experiments ever undertaken: to populate an unknown continent with the criminals of English society. For Richard Morgan, twelve months as a prisoner on the high seas would be just the beginning in a soul-trying test to survive in a hostile new land where, against all odds, he would find a new love and a new life. From the dank cells of England's prisons to the unforgiving frontier of the eighteenth-century outback, MORGAN'S RUN is the epic tale of one man whose strength and character helped settle a counry and define its future.
