The Spice Islands Voyage: The Quest for the Man Who… door Tim Severin

As ever Tim Severin brings to life historical sea journeys with his replica journeys. Indonesia is unknown to many but Tim's book provides a good glimpse of the countries, their people and the wildlife. An interesting outline of Alfred Wallace's life.

viking: king's man door Tim Severin

Maybe rating this only 2 stars is a bit harsh, but honestly I never really got along with this book. It was interesting read, but just felt dry and was a struggle to finish.
