In this novel, a decrepit warship sails on the last stretch of its voyage to Sydney Cove.

Fire Down Below Review
The third volume of ‘To the Ends of the Earth’ should be seen as one continuous book, where Edmund Talbot’s voyage to Australia comes to a conclusion. The first volume introduced Talbot while the second volume presented challenges that made him question his beliefs. In the final volume, Talbot puts what he has learned into action, undergoing a journey of self-discovery. Golding’s skill is evident in allowing the story to unfold without any commentary, leaving the reader to interpret the significance of Talbot’s journey for themselves.
