In 1930 the dashing Gino Watkins led a group of fourteen intrepid and largely inexperienced young men (including the author's father) to pioneer the first commercial air route between Europe and America. Alongside high adventure, triumph and tragedy, Scott paints a stunning portrait of two lost worlds ? the Inuit hunters of the polar regions and the ?Brideshead' generation of English men addicted to adventure. One member of the expedition was stranded alone on the ice cap for five months, for much of the time in total darkness. Blizzards raged continuously and temperatures dropped to -41°C. For six weeks he was utterly trapped in an ice cave, unable to get out as his companions mounted a desperate, last-ditch rescue attempt. AUTHOR: Jeremy Scott was born into a family of dysfunctional risk-addicts. After a colourful (and highly successful) career in one of London's top advertising agencies, described in his memoir Fast and Louche, he became a full-time writer. SELLING POINTS: ?Stories of early twentieth century polar exploration have proven sales potential ?Author is available for publicity and is personally connected ? son and nephew of the expedition leaders Exciting holiday reading with a wealth of original photographs REVIEWS: ?A stunning addition to the best-selling arctic exploration genre? a breathtaking adventure story' PUBLISHING NEWS Praise for Jeremy Scott's memoir, Fast and Louche: ?Mr Scott is a breath of shocking air in these dull times. Where has he been hiding?' INDEPENDENT
