While this is not the first of Tristan's books, it should be the first one that you read. It really is the story that starts it all. When a close friend, Capt N., introduced me to Tristan, this was the book he gave me. I will never be able to thank him enough. From the very start, he grabs you, takes you hostage, and throws you down below. With you as a involved observer and Nelson, his one eyed three legged dog, Tristan Jones will fill you and chill you with his voyage to THE ARTIC!!!
A must read for anyone even thinking of sailing.
