I slutningen af 1700-tallet hører Stillehavsøerne og Australien til blandt Jordens mest isolerede egne. Lige indtil de opdagelsesrejsende, med James Cook som den mest berømte, dukker op. I "Det skæbnesvangre møde" vækkes en uberørt verden til live, og med særlig vægt på Cooks tre ekspeditioner fra 1768-1780 beskriver Moorehead opdagelsen og udforskningen af Tahiti, Australien og Antarktis.Krigskorrespondent og forfatter Alan McCrae Moorehead (1910-1983) er forfatter til en lang række populære historiebøger. Han blev født i Australien, men rejste i 1937 til England og blev boende i Europa resten af livet. I 1966 blev han ramt af et slagtilfælde, der fratog ham evnen til at tale, skrive og læse, og de sidste bøger fra hans hånd blev udgivet med hjælp fra hans kone, Lucy.
