Book excerpt: The mutiny on Bounty on 28 April 1789 was the revolt of one man against another, Fletcher Christian against William Bligh. On that fateful day two friends became mortal enemies in a mighty clash of wills. In Fragile Paradise, the great-great-great-great-grandson of mutineer Fletcher Christian brings to life a fascinating and complex character that history has portrayed as both a hero and a villain. Glynn Christian shares the thrill of discovery as he follows the footsteps of his famous ancestor through family papers, contemporary accounts, and ultimately, on his own sailing expedition to Pitcairn Island where he finally solves the mystery of Fletcher Christian's death.
