Lemuel, sixteen when he is sentenced to be transported to the other side of the world, maintains his innocence, but no one believes him. Following the voyage on a hell ship, where the gaoler Bulstrode makes life almost impossible, and Lemuel's companion, Collie Barnes, fails to complete the journey, his luck changes and he becomes a clerk to Mr Larkville. But he never forgets his oath to defeat the greedy Bulstrode. When his brothers, Tim and Percy, join him, new hazards arise, and with exploration, challenges from corrupt soldiers and the constant struggle to survive, Lemuel's life is full. But there are moments of delight to raise his spirits.

Barbara Yates Rothwell has been writing professionally for over four decades. While her six children were small she wrote and sold many short stories, and eventually was invited to become Woman's Page Editor for a large group of south of England newspapers. In 1974 she, her husband and two youngest daughters moved to Australia, where her other children also finally settled. A trained musician, she became a music reviewer for The West Australian newspaper in the 1980s, and soon after decided it was time to write a novel. Since then she has published seven.
