A young marine. A dangerous voyage. A new world. Marine officer McKenzie did not ask for the edge of the world. Bound for Botany Bay with the First Fleet, he finds himself shoulder to shoulder with Watkin Tench - cool observer to McKenzie's man-who-acts-first - through heat, harbour, hunger, and the scrapes history forgot to write down. Adventure and humour on the voyage that founded a colony. Not a textbook. The salt still in your teeth.
