From the bestselling author of Killers of the Flower Moon comes The Wager, a true story of survival and savagery. In 1742, a group of 30 English sailors on a secret mission for the king washed up on the shores of Brazil. They were hailed as heroes. Six months later, three castaways landed in Chile with a very different story, accusing the first group of mutiny. As the accusations flew back and forth and escalated more sensationally, a court martial was held to determine who was telling the truth. Find out the results with us by picking up your copy and joining our discussion of this twisting and harrowing tale.
