Description:
Two centuries after James Cook's epic voyages of discovery, author
Tony Horwitz takes readers on a trip across hemispheres and centuries
to recapture the Captain's adventures and explore his embattled legacy
in today's Pacific. He meets island kings and beauty queens, and carouses
the South Seas with his travel companion, an Aussie named Roger. In
doing so, he creates a portrait of Cook — an impoverished farmboy
who became a great British navigator.
