Hacker News Reader

If you want more detail on this story, I found Peter Nichol's book A Voyage for Madmen on the race as a whole quite engaging.

Thanks, didn't know about this - now it's next on my kindle queue

I read The Strange Last Voyage of Donald Crowhurst in high school, and can recommend that as well.

Looks like the ebook's being released later this month. Guess a marketer somewhere is laying some groundwork.
