Description

The Explorers: Book 4 of The Australians by Vivian Stuart writing as William Stuart Long. 'When seventeen-year-old Jessica India MacLaine flees from her sadistic stepfather and hides aboard the Hindostan at Portsmouth as it prepares for the voyage to New South Wales, she little realises what fate has in store for her. For the infant colony is in turmoil. The deposed Governor, William Bligh, is preparing to leave for England, determined that his enemies will be brought to justice. His successor Lachlan Macquarie - in whose house Jessica finds employment - is faced with the task of making New South Wales a self-supporting and prosperous settlement after the havoc wrought by the corrupt Rum Corps. Not the least of his problems is the implacable hostility aroused by his attempts to ensure that emancipated convicts are given the same opportunities as the free settlers.
