History as it was. History as it wished it could be... The highly decorated General Livingston commands an unfamiliar crew across seas that plague his inner ear with vertigo, on a mission of exploration that with every stop hemorrhages money, all while straying further from its original objective. But, having been appointed to command the expedition by England's King George III, there can be no turning back. And so, against oceans turgid and three continents worth of calamities, General Livingston leads his bedraggled crew toward their ultimate goal of documenting the uncharted wilderness of New Wales. Meanwhile, following a disastrous escape from New Wales' prison colony, General McManus finds his already meager resources divided between assisting General Livingston's expedition, and rescuing a kidnapped child, all while keeping the kidnapping secret, in order that General McManus not spoil his own personal political ambitions. Contending against misfortune and mayhem aplenty, follow alongside General Livingston and his crew as the conspiracy unfolds, and their near-impossible odyssey culminates in a dramatic showdown pitting mission, morality, and life itself, against the unforgiving outback of 1794 Australia.
