In 1983 Tristan Jones,
well known as one of the finest sailing adventure writers of our time, had
his left leg amputated. Refusing to become landbound after a lifetime at
sea, he acquired a 38-foot trimaran and set off around the world.
Somewheres East of Suez is the third installment in the saga of that
incredible journey.
From the tourist- and terrorist-ridden ports of the eastern Mediterranean
to African outposts peopled with famine refugees, Jones maintains the
unique perspective of a man who has had minimal contact with society's
restraints, using his acerbic wit to spare no fools and offer biting
social commentary. After barely escaping with his life in South Yemen, he
sets off for the Far East, determined to win out against the difficulties
of his disability, whether caught in a tropical cyclone or savoring his
dwindling ration of fresh water in the vast windless expanse of the Indian
Ocean.
