Morgan's Run

About this book

Colleen McCullough captivated millions with her beloved worldwide bestseller The Thorn Birds. Now she takes readers to the birth of modern Australia with a breath-taking saga brimming with drama history and passion. 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 Englands prisons to the unforgiving frontier of the eighteenth-century outback Morgans Run is the epic tale of one man whose strength and character helped settle a country and define its future.
