-- Caroline Lucas, MP, co-leader of the Green Party

'It's no accident that the world is taking action to save the whales and rainforests, tackle climate change and toxic pollution; it's because people such as Peter Willcox are making it happen. A great read. '

'There is warmth and excitement in Peter Willcox's thrilling account of his adventures as Greenpeace Captain. His book brought back memories not only of voyages shared, but also of Peter as a brave exemplar.'
