Synopsis

A fast paced narrative exploration of adventure, discovery and murder while each evolving empire seeks to annihilate the current owner of the trade monopoly. This maritime history, unwinding through the eyes of a sailor is both educational and engaging on a personal level. Considerer whether Marco Polo was for real, did Prince Henry the Navigator, by himself, set the stage for world discovery, why did the Portuguese Empire barely last 100 years, how did an Egyptian scientist determine the circumference of the earth long before Christ, what was the medieval stopwatch, how did a one armed, one eyed, 135-pound British Admiral upstage Napoleon at every opportunity and prevent an invasion from France? This and much more. The second book inside this cover is a themed travelogue with boots on the ground personal adventure travel and discovery which includes the inspiration to take on this project.
