Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
Pickpocket John Jacob Turnstile is on his way to be detained at His Majesty's Pleasure when he is offered a lifeline, what seems like a freedom of sorts - the job of personal valet to a departing naval captain. Little does he realise that it is anything but - and by accepting the devil's bargain he will put his life in perilous danger. For the ship is HMS Bounty, his new captain William Bligh and their destination Tahiti.
From the moment the ship leaves port, Turnstile's life is turned upside down, for not only must he put his own demons to rest, but he must also confront the many adversaries he will encounter on the Bounty's extraordinary last voyage. Walking a dangerous line between an unhappy crew and a captain he comes to admire, he finds himself in a no-man's land where the distinction between friend and foe is increasingly difficult to determine....

Another BRILLIANT book from John Boyne!
Another gripping story with a brilliant main character, and supporting characters. The narrator was also excellent. I loved this audio book and would highly recommend it.

Utterly absorbing
Piers Hampton - my new absolute favourite narrator, this was an absolutely fantastic adaptation of mutiny on the bounty was enhanced even further still by such fantastic narration by Piers Hampton. I’m gutted it’s finished & fully intend to listen again.

Another triumph by Boyne
Wonderful take on the infamous swashbuckling adventure. I’ve only read (or listened) to 3 of Boyne’s books but they are so wonderfully diverse and the narration here was superb

Worth Sticking With!
This book takes a while to get going (the narration is excellent throughout which makes up for it), but I have listened to the final 5 hours pretty much in one sitting I was so enraptured! Highly recommended!

Excellent book ... Excellent narrator!
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Not my usual type of book but I chose to read it as it was by John Boyne , one of my very favourite authors. Completely different in style from any of his other books that I’ve listened to but completely captivating as it turned out.
Piers Hampton was a splendid reader and could change from character to character seemingly effortlessly. He never seemed as though he was a narrator changing his voice to appear to be a different person ... he just ‘was’ a different person! Very talented.
I have listened to several of John Boyne’s books and enjoyed each of them ... all completely different but exceptionally good. The readers were different in every case but all exceptional
