Thanks, I'm gonna have to pick that up. 

Hey Jimbo, if you're ever into semi-fiction there's a great author by the name of Ivan Doig.  One of his early books was based on a true incident and titled The Sea Runners.  It's really engaging and a great read on a trip.    (You need to Login or Register

I will add that Ivan doesn't write matter of factly.  I would describe it as "beautiful prose".  Some people might not be into that sort of thing but the guy is a master and really draws you in to the story.  His classic is called "This House of Sky".  It's how I started with him when I picked up that paperback based on the title at library sale years ago.
