About the Author
Tristan Jones, a legendary sailor, is the author of 16 books, including Saga of a Wayward Sailor, The Incredible Voyage and A Steady Trade. He left school at the age of 14 to work on sailing barges and spent the rest of his life at sea--in the Royal Navy, as a delivery skipper, and as a daring seagoing adventurer travelling the world in search of new and ever greater challenges.
Review
...a burning natural talent....his writings are a pleasure for any lover of good writing as well as a brilliant collection of yarns about his life, his sailing adventures, and his thoughts about man and the sea. -- Lloyds List, October 1993
The characters and capers, including a Sherlock Holmes-style mystery, pour deliciously from the pen of this legendary adventurer. -- Cruising World, December 1990
