"Rivals in Eden" is the first part of a trilogy by William McAteer on the history of the Seychelles, the remote and beautiful Indian Ocean islands. Based on original research it charts the story of the island from discovery in 1772 up until 1818, just after the Battle of Waterloo when the British took the islands from France. It tells the story of the early settlers, and their challenges, the slave trade, British and French naval battles and the early political exchanges between the french settlers and the British. The other two books, "Hard Time in Paradise" and "To be a Nation" complete the story of the Seychelles up to independence in 1976. "His (McAteer's) perception of history is pretty close to that of the French 'Ecole des Annales' pioneered by the late Fernand Braudel." -- The People newspaper, Seychelles, August 29, 2002 "McAteer makes the soldiers, sailors and adventurers of different sorts come alive for us in their delightful volume." -- Regar newspaper, Seychelles, August 23, 2002 "This is a book Seychelles has been waiting for. Its style is readable ... but it also has an authoritative tone." -- Silhouette: Air Seychelles in-flight magazine, January 1993 "This is a book everyone who has more than a passing interest in Seychelles will want to have." - George Bennett -- World Bibliographical Series: Volume 153 Seychelles, 1993, Hardcover, Ausgabe: Revised, Label: Pristine Books, Pristine Books, Produktgruppe: Book, Publiziert: 2002-11, Freigegeben: 2002-11-01, Studio: Pristine Books, Verkaufsrang: 903404.

What happened to these creatures and to the French settlers and their slaves in this Garden of Eden is described in William McAteer's first book of Seychelles history. The French held the Seychelles islands for only 40 years, but they forged a cultural identity which a century and a half of British rule has been unable to blur.
