"The year is 1629. Lucretia, the young and very beautiful wife of Undermerchant Boudewijn van der Mijlen, sets sail aboard the Dutch East India Company's newest vessel, the Batavia, to join her husband in Java. Her traveling companions are the scholarly Commander Pelsaert, Captain Jacobsz, who is consumed with hate for Pelsaert, the pompous and self-indulgent Predikant Bastiaensz and the unscrupulous, amoral genius, Jeronimus Cornelisz. Lucretia soon finds herself the unwilling catalyst for disaster. Preoccupied with hate and mutiny, the captain's recklessness results in the Batavia being wrecked on the Houtman Rocks off the coast of Australia. In this epic true-life adventure, three hundred and sixteen people live and die through a harrowing ordeal of mass murder and treachery, as they try to defend themselves against the mutineers, determined to leave no witnesses."
