Intrepid journalist Simon Reeve is off on a whole new adventure, embarking on a journey around the Caribbean Sea, home to some of the most exotic and enticing locations on Earth. Home to thousands of islands and a tropical mainland coast, the region is crammed full of history, conflict, culture, adventure, wildlife, glamour and colourful characters, giving Simon endless opportunities to explore.In his trademark engaging style, he seeks out the people making their lives in these islands and coasts, discovers how things are changing, and highlights the huge variety and richness of this stunning part of the world.Simon begins the final leg of his journey in Nicaragua, which will soon be split in two by the world's biggest construction project: a new transoceanic waterway set to rival the Panama Canal. Simon meets the people who face losing their ancestral homes and the city-dwellers who believe the canal will bring long-hoped-for prosperity and wealth to the country. In Honduras, Simon dives the crystal waters of the world's second-largest barrier reef. Back on shore, Simon discovers Hondurans living in the grip of some of the most violent criminal gangs in the world. Simon's journey ends in the stunning Jamaica, where he discovers a country confronting its violent reputation head-on with a police force cracking down on corruption.
