​The story of the astonishing voyage of Captain James Cook and the Endeavour, to mark the 250th anniversary of that voyage, and Cook's claim to sovereignty.
In 1768 Captain James Cook and his crew set sail on a small British naval vessel, the boldly named Endeavour, bound for the Pacific Ocean. He was ordered to establish an observatory at Tahiti in order to record the 1769 transit of Venus, and – with the skills of naturalist Joseph Banks and his team – to collect natural history in this far part of the world. But Cook’s brief also included a secret mission from the British Admiralty: to discover Terra Australis Incognita, an unknown southern land that might prove to be larger and richer than Australia

​Against the Odds: Surviving the world’s worst tsunami and overcoming trauma
 
‘Powerful and profound. Against the Odds reads like a thriller.’  Glenn A. Baker

Travel is the safest it has ever been, but what happens when it occasionally goes horribly wrong?
