  More about Baudin’s Last Breath / / Order Baudin’s Last Breath My Website This is the story of two men’s search for meaning, a voyage of discovery taking them half way round the world and defying the normal bounds of time and space. Nicolas Baudin is the eighteenth-century French captain sent by Napoléon on a scientific and political voyage to the uncharted shores of Australia. Victor Barker is the twentieth-century ordinary seaman who followed in Baudin’s wake. He was seeking the truth behind the voyage so he could write a novel based on the life of the French captain. But Captain Nicolas Baudin takes over command of the author and his story, determined that the historical record be put straight. When the author was in Paris, researching material for this story, he was suddenly taken ill and found himself in the Hôtel Dieu hospital. From there on his search for the truth about the Frenchman took a strange twist that led him into a world of secret societies, stolen documents, a stolen skull, and the discovery of the beautiful woman who changed the captain’s life. Nicolas Baudin was real. Victor Barker is real. Most of the characters and incidents in this novel are real. But it is a work of fiction.
