See all formats and editions

Could you out-hijack hijackers, deal with terrorists whose accomplices have spiked your drink, save a ship from an officer promoted beyond his abilities, find true love with a countess as false as her wig, risk a life-or-death rescue of the crew of a storm-tossed freighter on the rocks, or even yourself when trapped by the tide?

See for yourself when you sail the seven seas with Don Draper.

With an insider's eye he makes vivid and unforgettable the adventures and misadventures of life, death and near-death at sea in which seamen find themselves, all the time drawing on his own experiences of the skills, courage and resilience on which their lives, and our livings, depend.

Few people have any idea what merchant seamen have to deal with, of everything from Third World politics to first-timer's follies.

Yet whether on the narrow seas or high, you can only sink or swim.
