Summary

"From the New York Times bestselling author of The First Man comes a sweeping saga involving two extraordinary--and extraordinarily different--adventurers who have only one thing in common: the ambition to cross the Atlantic in a rowboat...alone"--, Provided by publisherThey had only one thing in common: the ambition to cross the Atlantic in a rowboat, alone. John Fairfax set off on a westward course, starting in the Canary Islands with his sights on Florida. Tom McClean charted an eastward course from Newfoundland to Ireland. Each arrived at their destination within days of the first landing on the Moon in 1969. Hansen takes us inside their adventures across the Atlantic: nail-biting tales of endurance facing gale-force winds, menacing sharks, creative problem-solving, and much more. -- adapted from jacket
