Killigrew and the Incorrigibles by Jonathan Lunn
A deadly pursuit across the Pacific, an elusive, savage figure dealing in a barbaric trade, six of Norfolk Island's most notorious prisoners and a tribe of cannibals in the New Hebrides, conspire to make this a hair-raising, heart-stopping, swashbuckling and, ultimately, life-threatening adventure for Kit Killigrew, R.N. and the crew of HMS Tisiphone.
