You started with the Bounty trilogy, I'm starting with the Bounty trilogy. I had to look twice - all three books are only fourteen hours read! I'm on Book 5 of frickin' Durant and by the time I'm done, that'll be 220 hours done with another 280 to go. What I've read is already longer than the first five Game of Thrones books. A fourteen hour trilogy starts to sound like a one-act play.
Thanks for the documentary, it's great to see people totally gripped by the story of the Bounty. Those three books really stayed with me. All three are chronicles of terror and desperation. Few things I've read have given me nightmares like they did. Age of sail books were like my Star Trek and just like Star Trek, lots of people don't see the appeal. I hope you do, tell me what you think when you are done.
