With the classic "Malay Archipelago" as his guide, Severin sets out to recreate the 19th-century adventures of Alfred Russel Wallace. One of his many voyages in the wake of famous explorers, Severin builds a passing replica of a famous boat and re-creates a historic voyage in the interest of telling a good yarn. He interweaves history, biology and conservation with his own voyage to Sulawesi, the Moluccas, Aru, Bacan, Ternate and other Indonesian islands.
