This is the true story of a legendary man and explorer. Noted modern-day adventurer Martin Dugard, using James Cook's personal journals, strips away the myths surrounding Cook's life and portrays his tremendous ambition, intellect, and sheer hardheadedness to rise through the ranks of the Royal Navy -- and by his courageous exploits become one of the most enduring figures in naval history. Full or realistic action, lush descriptions of places and events, and fascinating historical characters such as King George III and the soon-to-be-notorious Master William Bligh, Dugard's gripping account of the life and death of Captain James Cook is a thrilling story of a discoverer hell-bent on going farther than any man.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMartin Dugard\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eKnockdown: The Harrowing True Account of a Yacht Race Turned Deadly\u003c\/i\u003e and co-author of the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestseller \u003ci\u003eSurvivor: The Ultimate Game.\u003c\/i\u003e His dispatches have appeared in \u003ci\u003eGQ, Sports Illustrated, \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eEsquire.\u003c\/i\u003e An avid adventurer, Dugard has completed the Raid Gauloises race three times, and is co-holder of the Around the World Speed Record.
