It reads briskly, which makes it highly suitable for a popular audience/5(). In Farther Than Any Man, noted modern-day adventurer Martin Dugard strips away the myth of Cook and instead portrays a complex, conflicted man of tremendous ambition (at times to a fault), intellect (though Cook was routinely underestimated) and sheer hardheadedness/5(59). Tired and long disproven myths populate Farther Than Any Man so that you feel more like you're on a not particularly interesting guided tour by an ancient volunteer docent that a maritime museum doesn't have the heart to dismiss, rather than embarking on an exciting sea adventure.
