exciting!, Mar 25 2012
This book kept me on the edge of my seat, even though I knew Watson must have survived these adventures to be able to write the book. Watson's life reads like an Indiana Jones movie. Someday there will be a 3D blockbuster about it. He is the most heroic figure of the 20th century. I knew him when he was in his late teens. A much shyer person then. I love him. He is so blunt, so honest, so consistent. My big regret in life is I did not join him when he invited me to join his crew. I have nowhere near the tolerance for adrenalin and terror that he has.

We need many more like him., Mar 20 2001
I worked and sailed with Captain Watson for more than three years. You may not like the what he does or how he writes, but that doesn't matter one bit to him! His only concern is for those animals and ecosystems that he is fighting so hard to protect. He is an gifted leader and speaker, one of the world's most successful activists (if you count results rather than media attention), and has been an inspiration to and mentor of many others that fight for environmental justice. Read this book, try to soak up some of his message and his passion - then do something with it.

Eco-terrorists of the world unite!!!!!, May 23 1999
By A Customer
Paul Watson is one of the few hominids on this planet who actually knows what he's doing with his life. Over the last two hundred years humanity's impact upon Gaia has become exponential. Only people with his courage, compassion and vision offer us any hope. "Whether 'tis better in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, or to take arms against a sea of troubles and by opposing end them" -Shakespeare
