Once the pride of the British Navy's East India fleet, the Veritas
has fallen on hard times. She is now a transport ship, her cargo
prisoners of the Crown, her destination the penal settlement of Van
Diemen's Land, now known as Tasmania, the southernmost State of
Australia. Pastor Bob Cookson tries to offer solace to the convicts
on board. He meets Angus McLeod, a hard-liner on the rights of
workers, who is about to enter a world where no such rights exist;
Lester Harris, a farmer, who insists his wife follows him to the
Antipodes; and Sean Shanahan, miserably separated from the love of
his life. Cookson is shocked to discover that most of the men have
committed only trivial offences. He suspects a conspiracy to empty
British prisons, but finds a more sinister motive at work.
