Title: Danger plot give-away: Cook bad, natives good
Product review: Perhaps the title should have been a hint - Simply "Cook", no Captain. Within pages this guy had me bored by his unimaginative noble savage approach. He does not appear to really know very deeply the social, political and intellectual world in which Cook lived, either. This is the first book about the great Captain Cook, an unassuming hero and superachiever, that I have ever found just too boring to finish. The axe grinding is just too much. For heaven's sake, if you've never read anything about Captain Cook, don't make this the first. Probably just stay away from anything written by this author, who in my opinion is a good example of "a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest".
