Many readers will have read The Cornish Viking, Volume 1 of this autobiography. They will have followed the author to the Orkney and Shetland Islands where he pioneered new ferry services. You met eccentric characters, wild weather and friendly people who welcomed the innovations. Things now change entirely as we enter a world of famine, gunfire and danger as the author, accompanied by family, runs landing craft to feed people who have fled to remote locations to escape fighting in the Mozambique civil war. Gone is the humour, replaced by heart-breaking scenes of poverty and starvation. Meet also the wonderful street kids who were full of ingenuity and remained cheerful in the face of great adversity. When the war finishes, he helps to get the country going again by starting up ferries that had long been closed. Nonetheless, you will meet friendly people getting on with their lives as best they can and working hard for their communities.
