The Columbus Affair: With Bonus Short Story The Admiral's Mark

Meer over het boek

A family’s secret, a ruthless fanatic, and a covert arm of the American government are linked by a puzzling possibility: What if everything we know about the discovery of America is a lie? What if this lie conceals the real reason Columbus sailed in 1492, and what if this 500-year-old secret could violently reshape the modern political landscape? Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist Tom Sagan has reported from global hotspots, but after a fraudulent story from the Middle East ruins his career, he lives in virtual exile, haunted by the truth of his sabotage by an unknown enemy. As he contemplates ending his torment, fate intervenes with an enigmatic stranger who compels him to act, drawing the attention of the Magellan Billet, a secret corps of the U.S. Justice Department. Sagan becomes embroiled in an international incident that threatens to shake Washington, D.C., and Jerusalem. Caught in a deadly game of cat and mouse, unsure of who to trust, Sagan is forced to journey through Vienna, Prague, and the Blue Mountains of Jamaica, where his survival depends on rewriting everything we know about Christopher Columbus. Don’t miss the short story “The Admiral’s Mark” and a sneak peek of the new novel, The King’s Deception, included at the end.
