We rejoin The Expedition for its third and final instalment with Jason, now seasoned adventurer, and April, American schoolteacher at sea for the first time, battling to keep their pedal-powered boat Moksha from being dashed against Australiaâs Great Barrier Reef.
Crossing the infamous Coral Sea, theyâve endured gale force winds, rogue waves, and powerful currents pushing them off course for days at a time. On her thirtieth consecutive day of seasickness and now haemorrhaging blood, April is in urgent need of medical treatment. But in the uncharted waters north of Cape Flattery, far from coastguard assistance, there is little if any hope of rescue.
Even if they survive, Jason faces untold hazards to complete the first circumnavigation of the planet using only human power: waterless deserts, towering mountain ranges, seaborne pirates, and extremist hotspots. And there is still the overarching question he posed at the beginning, the one driving him forward that will take him to the brink for an answer.

both horrifying and enormously inspiring.ââNEW TIMES
âWe see a man who is â as Mowgli put it in The Jungle Book â prepared to pull the whiskers of death.ââLONDON TIMES
âArguably, the most remarkable adventurer in the world today.
Many people would certainly go insane if they werenât killed first.ââTHE DAILY MAIL
âI believe it is important in our era of cars, trains and aeroplanes that we are reminded what human beings can achieve using their own strength and resources.ââHis Holiness the Dalai Lama
