Captain Cook is a 1972 book about Captain Cook by Alistair MacLean.[1] It was a rare non fiction work from MacLean who wrote it out of his great admiration for Cook.[2][3]

In 1976 Maclean's second wife Mary formed a company with producer Peter Snell, Aleelle Productions, who aimed to make movies based on MacLean novels including Golden Gate, Bear Island, The Way to Dusty Death and Captain Cook. [4] No film resulted.
