Bounties of different kinds

The first Bounty to be discussed it the ship seen at the right - the site of the famous mutiny. The story, which I originally read in the book by Nordhoff & Hall, has facinated many. (There is a trilogy telling what happened afterwords by the same authors). Movies, books, and lots on the www are available about the mutiny . Perhaps one of the most interesting characters was Fletcher Christian (who has been played by box office draws like Clark Gable, Marlon Brando, Mel Gibson). Well, although it is most likely that Fletcher was killed on Pitcairn Island, there is a legend that has him returning to England and visiting his childhood friend William Wordsworth. Val MacDermid in her latest book "The Grave Tatto" has used the legend as a jumping off place for another very entertaining book. Thanks to my local library I could read it in hardback!
The bounty of a different kind is the 17th Butch Karp/Marlene Ciampi book . "Fury" by Robert K. Tanenbaum contains the usuals: Tran, Ray Guma, VT Newbury as well as major roles played by the Karp kids. Lucy and Marlene picked up an Indian and a cowboy during their sojourn in New Mexico. The word is that many of the novels were ghostwritten by Michael Gruber, but it doesn't really matter who wrote them if you like a funny and interesting escape with hardly believable characters and plots.
