註釋
Doyle, an Irishman, loves been a British soldier, but loves his country more. He's arrested for treason and sentenced to 20 years in Dartmoor Prison, England. On the verge of suicide, he's offered a lifeline by a detective from Scotland Yard, who needs an informer to spy on 62 Fenian prisoners being transported to Western Australia on the convict ship Hougoumont. Doyle agrees, but on one condition: the detective intervenes in the case of his brother, a member of the Irish Republican Brotherhood facing the death penalty for his involvement in the 1865-67 Irish Uprising. Set against the backdrop of mid nineteenth century Ireland, England and Australia, while interweaving historical and fictional characters, Fenian 63 takes the reader on an exhilarating journey into the shadowy world of Fenianism, convict transportation, colonialism, aboriginal culture, and savagery of men.
