Ruse, commemorated as a pioneer in his adopted country, was reputedly the first prisoner ashore, carrying an officer on his back. Eventually pardoned, at Experiment Farm he became Australia's first settled farmer, the first ex-convict to be granted land and the first settler to become self-sufficient, bringing him into conflict with indigenous people. In this gripping historical novel the life of Australia's most symbolic convict is described in Ruse's own voice.

`A fascinating, compelling and important account of a violent and bloody history. It's a real achievement - a thorough account of a whole life, framed by questions of economics, authority, social-class, church and Law - successfully occupying an imaginative space that feels both documentary and fictional'- Andy Croft, poet and novelist.
