A true tale of power, obsession, and betrayal at the edge of the world.
What The Reviewers Say
... it’s easy to assume that nothing new could be unearthed or written about it. But in his debut book, The Far Land: 200 Years of Murder, Mania, and Mutiny in the South Pacific, travel journalist Brandon Presser does exactly that, and brilliantly. By sifting through many of these prior texts, as well as other resources such as captain’s logs and interviews, Presser has managed to create a fact-based book that reads as grippingly as any thriller.
With painstaking detail, travel writer Presser tells the incredible story of Pitcairn and the people who have lived there since 1789.
... meticulously researched.
