“I ditched linguistics and became an oceanographer back in college thanks to a sea tale much like this one—an entrancing combination of great mystery, fascinating technology, exotic locales and the humor and challenge of a life at sea. I felt like I was perched on Dave Jourdan's shoulder as he and his team mounted these complex expeditions and set off to unravel the greatest aviation mystery of our times.”

“A realistic and compelling search for A.E.’s Electra. Using historical facts and data compiled by veteran pilot and navigator Elgen Long, Dave Jourdan and his Nauticos crew crunch the numbers and set out to solve the greatest remaining mystery of the twentieth century. This is how Earhart’s Electra will finally be found.”

“A riveting, detailed account of one man’s mission to solve the most mysterious disappearance in aviation history. Armed with a crackerjack team, cutting-edge navigation, and deep-sea technology, Dave Jourdan’s Nauticos is faced with a rash of setbacks and dilemmas—days away from civilization. One gains a quick respect for the unforgiving seas and a true perspective on the cumulative years of training, expertise, and research required for the project. In spite of the tense moments, Dave’s diary is peppered with humor and a given: to survive, all had to work together. The camaraderie comes through every step of the way. I was drawn into it all—minus the sea sickness!”
