Set in the South Pacific, the book introduces us to Bran Michael Dalton, an Irishman imprisoned in the notorius British penal colony of Norfolk Island in 1835, and Fletcher Christian IV, direct descendant of the "Bounty" mutineers, who is travelling back in time from 2072 to Pitcairn Island. Unforseen circumstances skew Fletcher's journey, and he and Dalton switch places - twentieth-century man is catapulted forward to 1972, where he must cope with endless bafflement such as radios, The Rolling Stones, tinned food, and condoms.Fast-paced and humorous, Green's narative flows ingeniously from one time frame and place to the next, alive with intelligence and wit. It will leave you with a sense of wonder about the origins or man and the earth. Truly a treasure for Time Travel enthusiasts!
