Novelist Graeme Lay re-imagines the peerless navigator James Cook's life up to, and including, his first circumnavigation of the world. A fictionalised account of the famous navigator's early life, the Secret Life of James Cook Cook's youthful ambitions, his early naval career, his marriage to Elizabeth and their family life.
