Half-Safe

In "Half-Safe," author James Nestor recounts the extraordinary journey of Ben Carlin, a young Australian mining engineer who, in 1948, embarked on a daring quest to circumnavigate the globe in an amphibious jeep named Half-Safe. Alongside his wife Elinore, Carlin navigates treacherous seas, raging hurricanes, and the challenging terrains of five continents, all while battling personal demons. This gripping tale of adventure, love, and resilience sheds light on one of the most remarkable yet forgotten stories of the 20th century.
