## Description

In the annals of seafaring and exploration, there is one name that immediately evokes visions of the open ocean, billowing sails, visiting strange, exotic lands previously uncharted, and civilizations never before encountered -- Captain James Cook. This is the true story of a legendary man and explorer. Noted modern-day adventurer Martin Dugard, using James Cook's personal journals, strips away the myths surrounding Cook's life and portrays his tremendous ambition, intellect, and sheer hardheadedness to rise through the ranks of the Royal Navy -- and by his courageous exploits become one of the most enduring figures in naval history. Full or realistic action, lush descriptions of places and events, and fascinating historical characters such as King George III and the soon-to-be-notorious Master William Bligh, Dugard's gripping account of the life and death of Captain James Cook is a thrilling story of a discoverer hell-bent on going farther than any man.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Remarkable Biography of a Remarkable Man from a Remarkable Author
*by  on Reviewed in the United States December 4, 2023*

It’s amazing how much Martin DuGard has managed to learn about Captain James Cook. It’s equally amazing how he manages to bring Cook’s adventures to life 250 years after the fact. And it’s not just the historical record that DuGard recreates so clearly, but also intangibles, like Cook’s state of mind. It takes an exceptionally skilled writer to convincingly transport the reader to the deck of a ship roving the South Pacific so long ago. Even a simple thing like Cook’s introduction of adjectives in his logbooks becomes meaningful for the reader. The scene in which Cook is murdered is rendered so clearly that it is easily visualized, and not easily forgotten. Farther Than Any Man is a remarkable biography of a remarkable man – by a remarkable author.
