The Wager: A Tale of Shipwreck, Mutiny and Murder

“Grann recounts the story of the HMS Wager's voyage from England to shipwreck off Cape Horn, and their journey home. It's a story of violence and power and survival. Every detail is astounding. I can't believe it's a true story. It's a real-life Animal Farm with mutinies, disease, Colonialism, and people racing the most extreme circumstances imaginable.”

“Not normally one to read (or recommend) a book about an old-timey shipwreck…but this book had me hooked! The author also wrote Killers of the Flower Moon, which I’d also highly recommend.”

“A well-written, fun account of a true survival story.”

“"The only impartial witness was the sun."”

“shipwreck story with Lord of the Flies energy, good read — will be a Leo/Scorsesse film!”
