• The Pacific Ocean calls to mind a world of fabulous kingdoms and noble savages
• Guilt free sex and gin-clear lagoons
• And a perfect idleness fed by lush fruits and fish-rich seas
• Ever since Captain Cook first went to Tahiti in 1769 to observe the transit of Venus across the sun
• This dream of the Pacific has not lost its force
• But Julian Evans'
• S journey through the island archipelagos of the Great Ocean was also informed by a quest into our more modern myths such as Peacekeeper missiles and nuclear bombs being tested by the US Army
• With humour and vivid imagery
• Honesty and a wickedly sardonic wit
• Evans uncovers the reality of these two Pacific dreams: a brave new ocean where the islanders have money and booze
