In Arabella Edge’s The Company the reader is taken on a most unusual journey, sadly the journey ends up being a boring one. Our main character, Jeronimus Cornelisz, is a psychopath, though of course not many people know that . so I expected more out of Edge.

Arabella Edge writes the story in the first person, almost in the form of a journal. Using forged papers, Cornelisz ships on the Batavia, flagship of the Dutch East India Company, bound for Australia and the Dutch East Indies. Loaded with gold and trading goods, the Batavia is wrecked on an island off the coast of Australia. Edge writes well, and builds the alarmingly plausible character of Cornelisz very convincingly. I felt that the first 85% of the book outshone the last 15%. I felt that it needed another 20 or 30 pages to tie up the end with the same thorough detail as the rest of the book.
Published by Thriftbooks. It is a well written book that becomes very difficult to read as it progresses and the endless horrors and atrocities continue unabated.
