This book is about a man and his dreams. And how this man sent out other men to dangerous places, how he let them die, how he made them big and famous or how he made society loath them. This is a book about brave men, traveling to strange places. Cold places, hot places. Places, nobody has ever seen before. A book about adventures, about science, and curiosity. This is a book I fully came to love from page one.
