In Cook's relatively short and adventurous life (1728-79) he voyaged to the eastern and western sea boards of North America, the North and South Pacific and the Arctic and Antarctic bringing about a new comprehension of the world's geography and its people's. He was the linking figure between the grey speculation of the early eighteenth century and the industrial age of the first half of the nineteenth century. Richard Hough's biography is full of new insights and interpretations of one of the world's greatest mariners.

可读性较强、信息丰富的人物传记，栩栩如生地刻画了库克船长跌宕起伏的一生，尤其是3次史诗性的环球航行。惟行文过长，叙事事无巨细，难免时有流水账之感。地图不多且印刷较模糊，增加了阅读难度。
