About this listen

On 4 June 1629, the Dutch vessel Batavia struck uncharted rocks off the Western Australian coast. By the time help arrived, over 120 men, women and children had met their deaths - not in the sea but murdered by two fellow survivors, Wouter Loos and Jan Pelgrom.

In 1986 teenager Steven Messenger discovers gruesome relics from that wreck. Four months later he disappears without a trace.

Where is Messenger? Is his disappearance linked to the relics? Someone knows...somewhere....

I’m interested in the Batavia so this caught my attention. The narrative is not what I expected, though. It’s like a mixture of Dracula and World War Z- reportage and first person accounts. I found the Australian setting intriguing, too.
