Exciting Photography
I couldn't put the book down the first time I saw it! The photography was beautiful...and the race must have been very exciting. It was fun to travel with this crew through the documentary of their journey. I got to travel the world without ever leaving home. How nice is that? But even if I hadn't read a word, the photography said it all. A must for those who enjoy seeing other countries and cultures.

Great Documentary Photography
The Adventure Continues documents a truly miraculous air race across the globe. Stunning photographs and an accompanying journal provide a glimpse into this monumental trek - not only from above but also as the crew roam the streets of the cities of six continents between stages of the race. Having read and purchased many travel and photography books - I can honestly say that The Adventure Continues is unparalleled in its use of photography. Congratulations to the entire team - specifically to Stewart who captured the true essence and excitement of such a journey.

The pages turned by themselves . . .
The Adventure Continues is a book which contains pages and pages of dreaming images that beckon one to flip page after page. It might not be a race the every day person could ever partake in, but this collection of photos and text allows the reader to experience the flight as if riding with the crew. I would recommend this book to anyone who has looked up into the sky to admire the rush of a airplane and dream about where its weightless journey is off to.

Great photography
"The Adventure Continues" is a spell-binding account of the Campbell crew's amazing journey around the globe, as seen through the eyes of the young and gifted photographer/writer Samaruddin Stewart. With beautiful colour photographs and thoughtful commentary, the author takes you on a wonderful 50-day trip.

The Adventure Continues is a must see AND read. Samaruddin Stewart's photos of the 2001 Great Air Race and the Campbell Air Race Team are amazing. The accompanying journal entries tell a story that goes beyond the beautiful photography from around the world. Readers can take part in the race, as well as join in on the side trips the group made along the way - including a visit to the U.S.S. Harry Truman aircraft carrier. But the trip was not just a pleasant journey. Another team enroute to the race crashed off the coast of Iceland, there were problems with airplane fuel and parts and some tense moments in the air and on the ground. Don't miss this one.

Tremendous example of cultural photography
'The Adventure Continues' is a wonderful, aesthetic look at earth's diverse cultures through one man's eyes. I couldn't help but marvel at how much beauty was observed in such a short time. This book will make you want to travel!

A Photographic Adventure
This young photojournalist was able to bring me to places I will probably never see up close. I feel like I've traveled the world in 280 pages. I discover new things every time I pick this book up. Its fascinating. It must have been an amazing experience. The photos are brilliant and tell a story every step of the way. This book is a must have for anyone interested in photography or traveling.

A great trip
I've always wanted to take a trip around the world, but for now at least, I'll have to do it vicariously through the fascinating photos in this book. It's a real treat to be able to see the places these guys went without having to spend hour upon hour in an airplane seat. My son also loves thumbing through the book, seeing the exotic places and especially looking at the various airplanes that were involved in the race. I can't wait to give this to my globe-trotting father-in-law as a Christmas gift.

A Wonderful Pictoral Journal
Mr. Stewart's photographic talent is abundantly evident as the reader opens each new page in this book. His pictoral essay of this remarkable journey captures not only the thrills of this adventure of flight, but also the mundane challenges of the day to day competition. I recommend it for any flight enthusiast-or for the person wanting a unique book for their coffee table.

The Chance of a Lifetime!
Have you ever wondered how it would feel to be a bird soaring over the world? This book answers that question for you! Not only was this an historical race, it was an adventure that few of us will ever have the privilege to experience. What an opportunity! A trip around the world in a strikingly unique airplane with lots of beautiful, exotic, and little known places to see and photograph! Whether your interest is in the race, airplanes, history, travel or art, they all are captured in this beautiful diary by a talented young photojournalist! This is a "MUST read" for ANY age!

The Adventure - A Wonderful Treat
There is a photo in "The Adventure Continues: London to Sydney Air Race 2001" of Ahu Tongariki, the largest collection of intact Moai statutes, that is absolutely mesmerizing: one can look at the photo for hours admiring the beauty of the island and the talent of the photographer. This photo is not an exception - there are actually hundreds equally beautiful in this extraordinary book reporting a journey of more than 50 days around the world. Together with a detailed, journal-like narration of those days the book offers a very visual modern version of Jules Verne's "Around the World in 80 days." Going through the book one becomes a part of the crew, the air race and the journey before and after. One learns not only about the world's geography, but also about the many cultures, traditions and in fact, aviation. The stories and photos behind take the reader along to the many places the crew visited, to meet the many people they met. "The Adventure" simply offers a wonderful travel account that cannot be compared to any other.

Aviation, travel, photography this book has it all
"The Adventure Continues" is a wonderful description of one team's experience in the 2001 London-Sydney Air Race. The talented photography and writing allow the reader to join the crew on their adventure in the Grumman Albatross from the United States to London then along the Kangaroo Route and back to the United States via the South Pacific and South America. The photography is impressive and I enjoyed reading along as the Campbell Air Race team dined with royalty, escaped disaster twice, visited a military carrier, landed in Sydney Harbor and received a pardon from Australia's Prime Minister, and traveled to the small island of Rapa Nui, or Easter Island. I would highly recommend this book for anyone interested in aviation, travel or photography!

For all interested in aviation
The book follows a group of flyers as they retrace the "Kangaroo Route" (flown from London England to Sydney Australia) in their 1954 Grumman Albatross. The Albatross, a large amphibious aircraft, and several other aircraft retraced the Kangaroo Route in an Air Race to commerate Australia's 100th Birthday. The book begins with a history of the Kangaroo Route. It then follows the Albatross as they ferry the aircraft, first across the United States and then across the Atlantic Ocean, to England. Once in England the Air Race is begun. Along the way, they travel from England to France, then to Greece, through the Middle East, India and Indonesia. After several stops in Australia, they continue on across the South Pacific to New Zealand, the Cook Islands and Tahiti. They even make a stop on Easter Island! From there it is to Peru in South America and north through the Central American countries of Panama and Belize. From there they finally are back in the United States. The photography is spectacular as are the descriptions of the various places the crew visited. Get this book and check it out! You won't be disapointed.
