Nathaniel Philbrick has done it again. Amazing book. He is so detailed and has a way of inviting you into the saga that makes his books hard to put down. He has (as usual) done extensive research to be able to weave this account of an exploratory expedition into an exciting and riveting account that will leave you wondering at times how it was ever accomplished. From the tragedies and triumphs, from the hazards at sea, and from their contacts with cannibals in Fiji -- it is definitely a book that will hold your attention.
