When he was in grade school this author's librarian told his mother: "From the kinds of books Robert reads, your son is going to live an interesting life." The book I was reading at the time was titled, "Danger Is My Business" the 1938 memoirs of World Traveler, Deep-Sea Diver, Big-Game Hunter and Underwater Movie Photographer, John D. Craig. She was right, of course, as most observant teachers are.In Robert F. Burgess' own memoirs: Sailing to Adventure, Your Passport To The Best of Times, you, like he did in Craig's book, get to share these adventures. Diving through a hole in the bottom of the sea into an Ice Age cavern; catching large sharks off a Florida beach or crossing the Swiss Alps in the middle of the night on a motor scooter... are your virtual adventures. YOU are the performer of these sometimes dangerous deeds. Mr. Burgess hopes you enjoy them as much as he did. Peter N. Milligan, 5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating! E-Book Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2014 Verified Purchase. "Once I started, I could not put this book down. Read it entirely through on a rainy, windy day in New Jersey, but Robert's prose made the day pass as if on the sunny beach. Great, credible, knowledgeable author."
