This is a very entertaining and informative read. I've been on a kick of reading 17-Century seafaring books, and this one is one of the best. Horwitz smoothly moves betwen Captain Cook's voyages of discovery and his own adventures travleing to the actual locations. I am reminded of Bill Bryson - mixing history and sense of place with his own personal fun narrative.
