Like the instant classic "The Last American Man, Fearless" is the
story of a remarkable individual who accepts no personal
limits--including fear. Freya Hoffmeister, a forty-six-year-old
former sky diver, gymnast, marksman, and Miss Germany contestant,
left her twelve-year-old son behind to paddle alone and unsupported
around Australia--a year-long adventure that virtually every expert
guaranteed would get her killed. She planned not only to survive
the 9,420-mile trip through huge, shark-infested seas, but to do it
faster than the only other paddler who did it.
As journalist and expert kayaker Joe Glickman details the voyage of
this Teutonic force of nature, he captures interminable days on the
water and nights camped out on deserted islands; hair-raising
encounters with crocs and great white sharks; and the daring
300-mile open-ocean crossing that shaved three weeks off her trip.
For 332 days Glickman followed Freya's journey on her blog--along
with a far-flung audience of awestruck, even lovesick, groupies--as
she took on one terrifying ordeal after the next. In the end, he
says, "her vanity and pigheadedness paled next to her nearly
superhuman ability to master fear and persevere."
