It seems that having discovered a new world, we have been doomed to then loseit.
The year is 1775. Captain James Cook is forty-seven years old and the toast ofthe Admiralty, the Royal Society and the English public after his triumphant secondworld voyage. His wife, Elizabeth, pregnant with their sixth child, relishes the fact thather now-famous husband is home for good. He has been absent far too long.
But James cannot resist the call of the sea. Offered the chance to discover a long-soughtpassage from the North Pacific to the North Atlantic, he accepts the challenge. Muchagainst Elizabeth’s wishes, he sets sail for the Pacific, where destiny awaits on theshores of a distant tropical island. The stunning conclusion the trilogy that began withThe Secret Life of James Cook and continued with James Cook’s New World.
