James Cook never laid eyes on the sea until he was in his teens. He then began an extraordinary rise from farmboy outsider to the rank of captain of the Royal Navy, leading three historic journeys that would link his name with fearless exploration. This text portrays a complex man of tremendous ambition, intellect and sheer hardheadedness.
