Demon of the Waters: The True Story of the Mutiny on the Whaleship Globe

3 reviews
Gregory Gibson

Back Bay Books, 2003

Great mixture of history, adventure and tragedy.
I highly recommend this book to all who like to read about toll ships and see adventures. Painstakingly, masterfully written, book embraces detailed description of whaling ships and their role in making many Nantuckers rich, as well as many aspects of human life during the "golden" era of whaling for oil industry. But not only this. We have many historical details about early Pacific navigations ...

The Mutiny on the Bounty

Walker Books for Young Readers, 2007

I may be cranky, but at least I'm not an idiot
It is a shame that customers who cannot spell properly or pay attention to what they are purchasing should under-rate a fabulous book--or a fabulous author and illustrator for that matter--because of their own error. Patrick O'Brien, with an "e", is the author and illustrator of well over a dozen picture books for children. To imply that Patrick O'Brien is not the "real" Patrick O'Brian would ...

To fully appreciate Mutiny on the Bounty, Read the full trilogy
I would contend that one simply cannot fully summarize or comment on the book "Mutiny on the Bounty" without reading the full Bounty Trilogy. The central issues raised in the first book are resolved implicitly and at length in "Men Against the Sea" and "Pitcairn's Island," where the authors flesh out the denouement. Yes, they are novels, and entertaining in their own right, but on a deeper ...

Little, Brown and Company, 1985

This is an amazing epic and well worth the read.
This is an amazing epic of 18th mutiny of the H.M.S. Bounty. Although the tale has been fictionalized as an historical novel, it portrays the conflicting cultures of that time as the forces of racism, imperialism, autonomy and autocracy clash on the high seas. The trilogy is comprised of three novels: The first is Mutiny on the Bounty which chronicles the abuse of Captain Bligh, the mutiny led ...

Mutiny on the Enterprise (Star Trek: The Original Series)

Star Trek, 1990

FAIRLY TYPICAL EARLY STAR TREK VENTURE
Star Trek #12 is an enjoyable read that can be read in a couple sittings at best, the later book have more pages and somewhat deeper plots. Some of the other reviews here give synopsis of the plot so I will refrain from that. I found 'The Speaker of Hyla', or Lorelei, to be a very interesting character, as did Captain James Kirk early on. Until her methodology and beliefs takes his ship away ...

William Bligh

Waldman Publishing Corp., 2008

One heck of a book!!!
In The Mutiny on Board HMS Bounty is about man named William Bligh who as a boy of only 16 starts sailing on British ships. The events that happen to this man happen mostly on the South Seas. William eventually becomes a captain of a vessel called the HMS Bounty. He never expected the most dastardly dead that men can do on a ship would happen to him especially by the one man he trusted most ...

Bligh's Temper
Ms. Alexander's work is carefully researched and beautifully written. She also has clear biases on events and people but I'd prefer to have had her own opinions more boldly written. Nevertheless, this is a "must" history for Bounty fans. Bligh--a man of tremendous strengths--had at least one glaring weakness. He was a man with a red hot temper. Granted--like many people given to "blowing ...

W. W. Norton & Company, 2002

"I am the bloody man, I have the bloody hand"--S. Comstock
Mutiny on the Globe by Thomas Farel Heffernan is a story written for the causual history reader about a disgruntled and insane whaleman Samuel Comstock who, in 1822, sought to live out his horrible fantasy. Comstock's dream was to take over a ship by killing the captain and his mates, sailing to an island, enslaving the natives who-as his personal military force-would kill the remaining crew and ...

William Bligh

Ags Pub, 1994

Suspensfully thrilling!
This suspensful story of courage, bravery, and traitorousness is a must-read for everyone. Whether Bligh was a harsh cruel captain or whether Fletcher Christian, the leader of the mutiny was the one who was out of line has yet to be proven, but one can easily form their own opinions on the truth within the first few chapters. I beseech anyone who is contemplating whether or not to read this to ...

Bounty Of Details
"The Bounty" by Caroline Alexander, is not only a thoroughly researched book about the infamous mutiny at sea that took place well over 200 years ago, but the story is told in a way that will keep you turning the pages as if you were reading a captivating adventure novel. I was most impressed by this account of the events, and learned new and interesting details in every chapter. From logs ...

Black Classic Press, 1997

It made me think more about America and slavery than ever
I set upon to read this book to read a real account of what happened on the Amistad before I saw the movie which I heard was historically flawed. I don't know if that is the case because I have not seen the movie, but this book enriched me in ways I never could have foreseen. This book made me question the "inherent morality" and goodness of America envisioned in the "City on a Hill" analogy ...

The Mutiny on the Bounty Trilogy
Charles Nordhoff, James Norman Hall

Konecky & Konecky, 2005

Here in one volume is the complete Bounty trilogy: Mutiny on the Bounty, Men against the Sea, and Pitcairn Island. Compared to the work of Conrad and Stevenson, the saga of Captain Bligh, Fletcher Christian and the crew of HMS Bounty is one of the most stirring sea adventures ever told.
