  Captain James Cook Biography
James Cook, the sailor, surveyor, cartographer and explorer, was born in 1728 in Cleveland in the North Riding of Yorkshire in Northeast England.
Cook's early life is a mixture of fact, hearsay and legend blended together over the years by various biographers, many of whom did little or no research and simply perpetuated the existing stories.
Cook had begun what would be a regular schedule for the next few years: sail to Newfoundland in April; spend until October surveying; and return to London for the winter to produce final versions of the charts and associated sailing instructions and descriptions.

This is undoubtly the darkest and least "heroic" book in Hugh Cook's series: "Chronicles of an Age of Darkness", but it is a great read nonetheless.
However, it still contains the usual Hugh Cook elements in abundance - drama, excellent characterisation, invention and humour.
Overall, it's not quite as good as some others in the series, particularly books 4, 9 and 10, but it's still a great read, and for a fan of the series, the future development of the careers of Morgan Hearst and Watashi is worth the purchase price by itself.
