Inside were thirty emaciated men, barely alive, and they had an extraordinary tale to tell. They were survivors of His Majesty's Ship the Wager, a British vessel that had left England in 1740 on a secret mission during an imperial war with Spain. While the Wager had been chasing a Spanish treasure-filled galleon known as "the prize of all the oceans," it had wrecked on a desolate island off the coast of Patagonia. The men, after being marooned for months and facing starvation, built the flimsy craft and sailed for more than a hundred days, traversing 2500 miles of storm-wracked seas. They were greeted as heroes. But then, six months later, another, even more decrepit craft landed on the coast of Chile. This boat contained just three castaways, and they told a very different story. The thirty sailors who landed in Brazil were not heroes, they were mutineers. The first group responded with countercharges of their own, of a tyrannical and murderous senior officer and his henchmen. It became clear that while stranded on the island the crew had fallen into anarchy, with warring factions fighting for dominion over the barren wilderness. As accusations of treachery and murder flew, the Admiralty convened a court martial to determine who was telling the truth. The stakes were life-and-death, for whomever the court found guilty could hang."--Container.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status Due Date   Hawaii State Library CD -- Compact Disc BOD 910.91641 Gr   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library CD -- Compact Disc CD Non-Fic Grann Audiobook Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library CD -- Compact Disc Book on CD   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library CD -- Compact Disc CD/BK 910.91641 Gr 7 discs Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library CD -- Compact Disc CD 910.91641 Gr [audiobook] Checked In   Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library CD -- Compact Disc CD Gr   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library CD -- Compact Disc Grann NF audiobk Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Naalehu Public Library CD -- Compact Disc CD 910.91641 Gr AudioBook Checked In   Add Copy to MyList North Kohala Public Library CD -- Compact Disc CD 910.91641 Gr   Checked out 06/19/2024 Add Copy to MyList
