Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Moon Pool
For two months I had been on the d'entre casteaux Islands gathering data for the conclud ing chapters of my book upon the ora of the volcanic islands of the South Pacific. The day before I had reached Port Moresby and had seen my specimens safely stored on board the Southern Queen. As I sat on the upper deck I thought, with homesick mind, of the long leagues between me and Melbourne, and the longer ones between Melbourne and New York.
