Opis

Reach for your passport and join Paul Barrington aboard the fabled SS CHUSAN for it's inaugural world cruise to include exotic Polynesia and the Far East. It also happens to be the first sea voyage for Paul who having just completed his service in the R.A.F. without his urge to travel the oceans of the world satisfied when he received an invitation to join the newest cruise ship due to set sail from London immediately and be very well paid for his skills. His dream had come true So with equal parts lust and wanderlust and seeing himself as a latter day Marco Polo armed not with a sword perhaps, but a pair scissors, embarks on an often hilarious odyssey to exotic and not so exotic ports around the world. His adventures included assisting in the fate of a misguided stowaway prostitute, a close shave with one of the Kings Coldstream Guards, a bloody struggle with a 14' shark and a disastrous tidal wave. Fearful moments when face to face with an enraged armed Maharaja's aide and a scary kidnapping attempt in North Africa. Then, of course, were the many lonely widows aboard who were oh, so willing. Several adventures happened ashore included an encounter with Maori natives and some awkward moments in a Japanese bath house when it wasn't just Paul's temperature that was rising. Paul eventually breaks the cardinal rule and falls for beautiful fellow crew member, Joanna Carroll, which leads to severe complications as they conduct a torrid clandestine affair.
