El génesis de un mundo nuevo La tercera entrega y continuación de Los Australianos, la inolvidable saga épica escrita por Vivian Stuart que, con estilo envolvente y habilidad excepcional para crear personajes llenos de fuerza, nos transporta a los orígenes de Australia: un territorio salvaje, indómito y lleno de oportunidades… pero también de injusticias, peligros y luchas por la supervivencia. Inglaterra ha enviado sus convictos a Australia, pero, entre ellos, hay hombres y mujeres dispuestos a trabajar con ahínco y a forjarse una nueva vida.

En el nuevo asentamiento australiano, la vida es muy dura: lo es para los colonos libres, pero más para los prisioneros. Algunos, sin embargo —Jenny Taggart entre ellos—, están decididos a adueñarse de esta tierra bárbara. Jenny, traicionada en la amistad y en el amor, tiene que alejarse de muchos compañeros, pero nunca de su visión: edificarse un futuro como mujer libre. Los rebeldes y los marginados han sido enviados muy lejos, al otro lado del mundo, a las duras tierras de un nuevo continente.

En la década de 1780, Inglaterra se deshace de centenares de carteristas, estafadores, ladrones, asesinos y prostitutas. Los empaqueta como ganado en los compartimentos de carga de viejos buques y los envía a colonizar lo desconocido: la bahía Botany, un fondeadero descubierto por el capitán Cook. Será un cruel destino para los más fuertes, pero, en especial, para Jenny Taggart. A sus quince años, Jenny debe purgar una sentencia de exilio perpetuo por un crimen que ni siquiera ha cometido.
