Publisher's Summary
From sailor to legend - the story of Captain James Cook, one of the greatest maritime explorers of all time.
Over three remarkable voyages of discovery into the Pacific in the latter part of the 18th century, Cook unravelled the oldest mystery surrounding the existence of Terra Australis Incognita - the Great South Land. He became the first explorer to circumnavigate New Zealand and establish that it was two main islands; discover the Hawaiian Islands for the British Empire; and left an enduring legacy.
Rob Mundle introduces us to an unlikely sailor in a teenage Cook, who through the combination of hard-won skills as a seafarer, the talents of a self-taught navigator and surveyor, and an exceptional ability to lead and care for his men, climbed the ranks of the Royal Navy to achieve legendary status among all who sailed and mapped the world.

I'm sorry it had to finish.
What a story and so wonderfully told! Sharing the best of Captain James Cook's adventures and life.
I wished to hear every detail, going back at times to re'read'.
The narration was perfect.

Fascinating. All the better with Google Earth
I spent as much time on Google Earth and Wikipedia as I did listening to this great book. Constantly pausing so I could look up his locations and then going down a rabbit hole of research and further reading on the locations and history.

Most informative
Very good account of Cook’s sailing adventures & character. Food for thought. Not an easy life for his wife & children. Worth a listen.

What I did not know
I thoroughly enjoyed this account of Cook’s and explorations.The details revealed do justice to a great Yorkshireman who went from the humblest of origins to rank alongside the most illustrious of our human race
