Product Description
When Tristan Jones, who became one of the best-known small boat sailors and writers of our times, was discharged from the Navy, and told he was physically unfit for more seagoing, he got hold of a small craft, Creswell, which he converted to a cruising ketch, and started sailing. Then, determined to sail farther north than anyone else, Jones set out from Iceland, accompanied only by Nelson, the one-eyed, three-legged dog he had inherited. Jones spent two winters full of continuous suspense and danger in this bleak polar region. He was trapped by violent snowstorms, attacked by a ravenous polar bear, and marooned on an ice pack in the Arctic Ocean, all the while grappling with loneliness and despair, plus dwindling supplies. Finally, when the ice shifted, crushing Creswell like a matchbox, Jones had to deal with possible death! |

5 for fantasy by Graeme J. W. Smith (Newport, RI United States) 5 Stars
June 16, 2005
It is a terrific book. However it is - as Anthony Dalton's new biography of Jones shows - complete fiction.
But that is not to diminish the writing of the tale - Jones imaginings make for a "real" adventure in the minds of his readers and that is what makes for a good book.

Stop collaborate and listen to this review
Tristan Jones is back with a new addition
Flow like a harpoon daily and nightly
Tristan rocks the mike like a vandal
Girls were hot wearing less than bikinis
Riding Tristan while driving lamborguinis
Gunshots rang out like a bell
Tristan droped his 9 and let out some shells
Lost his leg, burnt on a candle
Polar bears on standby
Waiting to bite a leg off
Oops its gone burnt off by that candle
Ice Ice by Tristan Jones
