The master of the adventure genre, Alistair MacLean, presents for your consideration a historical story about the life and travels of the most revered navigator in Britain, James Cook, whose expeditions brought him worldwide fame as a discoverer and enriched people's knowledge with many geographical discoveries. James Cook was awarded an unprecedented favor for a man, not born a gentleman - the rank of lieutenant for achievements in navigational sciences and selfless service in the British navy. Thanks to him, the British won the Battle of Quebec - an armada of 200 ships was able to pass along the fairway marked by Cook, which predetermined the outcome of the battle. Twice he tried to find Antarctica, but he was only 200 miles short of the discovery... He was the first in history to cross the Antarctic Arctic Circle and made a detailed map of the coast of New Zealand, discovered the Hawaiian Islands and part of the coast of Alaska. A talented man and brave navigator left a rich memory of himself - great geographical discoveries, now known to everyone .
