Having survived Borneo, Amazonia, and the Congo, the indefatigable Redmond O’Hanlon sets off on his next adventure: his own perfect storm, in the wild waters off the northern tip of Scotland. Equipped with a fancy Nikon, an excessive supply of socks, and no seamanship whatsoever, O’Hanlon joins the commercial fishing crew of the Norlantean, a deep-sea trawler, to stock a bottomless hull with their catch, even as a hurricane roars around them. Rich in oceanography, marine biology, and uproarious humor, Trawler is Redmond O’Hanlon at his finest.

This is a classically-shaped travel story: a very long river voyage into the far interior of a tropical jungle towards an unexplored mountain range. A journey inspired by Joseph Conrad, it is framed by a knowledge of the great Borneo naturalists of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Alfred Russel Wallace, Charles Hose and William McDougall, Robert Shelford. It includes a changing portrait of the greatest English poet of his generation, James Fenton, a jungle in himself. Sponsored by the Sunday Times, advised and equipped by 22 SAS, and setting out with the blessing of the University of Oxford, the British Museum (Natural History) and the Harvard University Museum of Comparative Zoology, the two-man expedition, with three Sea Dyak trackers, reached, much to their surprise, the Tiban massif in the very centre of Borneo, an area unvisited since Mjoberg's expedition (and then only from the Indonesian side) in 1926. Redmond O'Hanlon writes with wit, and wears his learning lightly.

O'Hanlon takes us into the bug-ridden rain forest between the Orinoco and the Amazon--infested with jaguars and piranhas, where men would kill over a bottle of ketchup and where the locals may be the most violent people on earth (next to hockey fans).
