About
It is 1850, and a young Englishman, Gideon Barr, arrives in Borneo. Within ten years he has conquered an area the size of England and Wales, ruling through armies of tribal headhunters. But the personal cost is enormous and Gideons's wife must return home to ensure the safety of their surviving child.
