A gripping 17th century adventure thriller about shipwreck, survival and the dark side of man.
The Great Southland, 1626: Michiel van Texel is a captain on the company's coin on his way to the other side of the world to fight the Mataram and escape his demons. The ship is overcrowded and navigation around the Horn is down to the skipper’s dead reckoning. When the ship founders on the jagged reefs of the Houtman Rocks, all hell breaks loose.
As those around him reveal their true natures, chaos and barbarism ensue. Surviving the wreck becomes the least of Michiel's problems.
Evil happens when good men do nothing. And Michiel has always seen himself as a good man. But he has never faced evil like this.
