When the secret of his true parentage is revealed, young aristocrat Richard Devine is disinherited and driven from his home in England. Assuming the name "Rufus Dawes," he is falsely accused of murder and banished to an unforgiving Australian prison for a life sentence. Gradually, he evolves into a tough, self-sufficient convict, unafraid to attempt the most daring escapes or brutal clashes with fellow prisoners and his jailers -- including the cruel Lt. Maurice Frere or the troubled Reverend North.
"Dawes" last hope for vindication is his passion for Sylvia daughter of the prison Commandant, Major Vicker. That hope is put to the ultimate challenge by her own dark secrets, as well as one final, stunning betrayal you won't see coming!
Harsh and unflinching in its indictment of prisons, For The Term Of His Natural Life is also an unforgettable testament to the power of the human mind and heart.
