An amazing read!
"What a great read, thank you to Nick Eliason for such a wonderful book. It felt as if we were beside the author, he really immersed his reader into his story and what a story - all fact, no fiction which made it even more amazing to read." - Sue Wood
A life well lived
"I loved this book, just goes to show how much of the world there is to explore and how to squeeze every drop out of life. An inspiring read, coincidentally enough read on the deck of a ship!” – Rick E
Something completely different
"Purchased this book as I have some knowledge of the experiences the author went through. What a fascinating and intriguing story this is. A tale of one man’s experiences in the merchant navy on board both cargo and a historical cruise ship leading to smuggling his intended wife from behind the iron curtain and other adventures all over the world. Well written, interesting , humorous, and even thrilling." - Kevin J. Keay
