Capturing the total context of political climate and historical change that made the Age of Discovery one of excitement and drama, Silverberg brings a motley crew of early ocean explorers vividly to life.
Robert Silverberg, a renowned science fiction author and recipient of multiple Hugo and Nebula Awards, also writes books reflecting his special interest in myth, history, archaeology, and anthropology.
“[Silverberg] vividly chronicles the heroics, the suffering, and
the patriotism, cruelty, and greed that motivated most of the
explorers cum privateers/pirates and their royal and private
financial backers, in the blood competition for the riches of the
Indies.”
