{"product_id":"sea-of-dangers-geoffrey-blainey-9781566638258","title":"Sea of Dangers: Captain Cook and His Rivals in the South Pacific","description":"In 1769 two ships set out independently in search of a missing continent: a French merchant ship, the \u003ci\u003eSt. Jean-Baptiste\u003c\/i\u003e, commanded by Jean de Surville, and a small British naval vessel, the \u003ci\u003eEndeavour\u003c\/i\u003e, commanded by Captain James Cook. That Christmas, in New Zealand waters, the two captains were almost within sight of each other, though neither knew of the other's existence. This is the stirring tale of these rival ships and the men who sailed in them. Geoffrey Blainey brings his marvelous storytelling powers to bear on this fascinating and important adventure, drawing us brilliantly into the lives of the major figures.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Geoffrey Blainey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1566638259\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781566638258\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ivan R.
