Query: A CLASSIC ADVENTURE TALE THAT RANKS WITH THE VERY BEST

These were the words of longtime book reviewer and former managing editor of McCall's magazine, who also called it "a truly remarkable story." A very lengthy Boston Globe review was equally favorable, concluding that it was "a gripping story" and "one might expect the story of the Italia to be a movie."
