Language: English . Brand New Book ***** Print on Demand *****. Is there really a stowaway in one of the lifeboats? And what s the truth about Germans and deckchairs? On a cruise ship full of passengers from different countries there s bound to be plenty of fun. Seventeen Seas follows a voyage through ten countries, fifteen ports, across seventeen seas, for forty-six days. Stories of the journey itself and the multiple destinations are told through the viewpoint of a variety of characters. Seventeen Seas is a travel-book with a difference. Excerpts - - In such a closed community rumours are bound to spread. And they did. - Step after step, eyes fixed rigidly on the end of each span, Ngaio moved on. - You like gods? Pictures of Indian gods, said a pair of boys working in tandem. Elephant-head god, monkey god, god with six arms. - Yvonne thought of Eduardo and the woman who was prepared to travel in a train for a total of twelve hundred kilometers to see him for a few hours. - Once again Lynn heard it was the Germans who were monopolising all the deck-chairs. - Dick wondered if a fleet of speedboats under orders from a Somali warlord was heading towards them at that very moment. - If there were gods like this right on hand among the reeds of the Nile, why had Cleopatra lusted after the Romans? - Jovial Joe, passing through the lounge area on the lookout for last-day opportunities to cross off another joke from his list, saw his opportunity.
