My name is Jake Tama. Well, Captain Jacob Ezekiel Tama, if you want to get formal. I'm a riverboat captain, and I have been around rivers all my life. Oh, I did spend some time on the ocean in the Navy. Then sixteen years as a policeman-homicide, mostly. But even then I drove boats. Then I bought my own excursion boat, and the business was good. And that is where my problem started -- crime, murders, mostly. Everywhere I go something happens to get me drawn into resolving a mystery, even worse than when I was a cop. I was even accused of committing murder. Then I was almost a victim. And yes, I've had a few romances along the way. But I'm getting ahead of myself. Just read the book!

When Clyde Eddy first saw the Colorado River in 1919, he vowed that he would someday travel its length. Eight years later, Eddy recruited a handful of college students to serve as crewmen and loaded them, a hobo, a mongrel dog, a bear cub, and a heavy motion picture camera into three mahogany boats and left Green River, Utah, headed for Needles, California. Forty-two days and eight hundred miles later, they were the first to successfully navigate the river during its annual high water period. This book is the original narrative of that foolhardy and thrilling adventure. “The point of his great adventure is not to make a name for himself, or to profit from a documentary film, or even to prove that quiet men of intellect can be as courageous as brawny frontiersmen. The point is the journey itself, the satisfaction of attempting the near impossible, and of surviving to tell the tale.”--Peter Miller, National Geographic Magazine, from the Foreword
