This week in March 1770, having completed the first-ever circumnavigation of New Zealand, Captain Cook’s bark the Endeavour sails past Cape Farewell at the top of the South Island. In between bloody altercations with local Maori and other dramatic interludes I capture this historic moment in New Zealand: A Novel.
Ahead of the Endeavour and the hardy men aboard her is a 1,200-mile journey across the Tasman Sea to Australia’s eastern seaboard.
This epic historical adventure remains my bestselling Kindle ebook. It’s also available as an audiobook courtesy of Amazon’s Audible initiative. (Listening length: 11hrs. 25mins.).
For those who prefer the printed word, the paperback version is available from Harvard Book Store, Mighty Ape NZ, Waterstones UK & Europe bookstores, Barnes & Noble, Kete Books NZ, Amazon and via public libraries.
