O knihe
The Mereleigh Record Club Cruise of the South Pacific captures the thrilling journey taken by a group of friends in their chartered sailing ship. They encounter much more than they bargained for when they become entangled with Japanese fascists on the high seas.
Hunting for lost gold, rescuing survivors on a sinking ship, and being captured by pirates, mark just some of their unexpected adventures.
Fact and fiction are interwoven in this exciting novel based on two historic events. The first involves gold stolen during World War II. Then there's the curious tale of the Joyita, an island trader found adrift and abandoned in 1955. The merchant vessel's twenty-five passengers and crew were never found.
About the Author: Roy Vaughan draws from his rich experience of covering the South Pacific both as a Pacific affairs journalist for the New Zealand Herald newspaper, and as a public relations officer for the South Pacific Forum, based in Fiji. A former mariner, he spent several years working on merchant ships, at times experiencing third world conditions, which prepared him for the diplomacy and understanding required in his career. The author also set up his own travel company and drafted the concept for the first PACIFICA festival in Auckland, New Zealand.
