In this book, Theroux takes a trip in and around fifty-one Pacific Islands. From New Zealand"s rain forests to crocodile-infested New Guinea, over isolated atolls, through dirty harbors, daring weather and coastlines, he travels by kayak wherever the winds take him—and what he discovers is a world to explore and try to understand.
