Toby Robinson never forgot his experiences as a cabin boy aboard HMS Endeavour, when he sailed with James Cook on his great voyage of discovery. He also never forgot the tragic loss of so many of his friends, due to diseases they caught when visiting Batavia on their way home. He vowed never to go to sea again and settled to the quiet life as a local doctor.

Things changed dramatically when he is unexpectedly invited to sign on as chief surgeon aboard HMS Victory. Saddened by the loss of his wife and attracted by the opportunity to serve under his hero, Admiral Horatio Nelson, he signs on. He discovers life aboard the great warship is quite different to that aboard the tiny Endeavour, but assisted by his medical team he copes well, until he meets tragedy and triumph at Trafalgar, the world's most costly naval battle.

About the Author

Kevin Boon is a New Zealand author who has written plays, television programmes and over 100 books, including novels and short stories, however most of his work has been non-fiction about aspects of New Zealand history. His most recent publication is Toby's Endeavour Voyage, which describes the amazing voyage of James Cook, his passengers and crew, aboard H.M.S. Endeavour, told through the eyes of an imaginary Cabin Boy, Toby Robinson. Disillusioned by the loss of life aboard the Endeavour, Toby settled down to a quiet life as a country doctor, but after the death of his wife he signs on as surgeon aboard H.M.S. Victory, under the command of Admiral Horatio Nelson. Kevin states, "I enjoy writing both fiction and nonfiction but I like to tell the story from the point of view of a character in the story as it enables me to describe the atmosphere and emotional situation with greater intimacy.
