Reviews

“There can be little left to know about Sir Francis Drake’s seafaring exploits after the penning of two biographical volumes so thoroughly researched that they leave barely a tide unturned, a landfall untouched…Michael Turner combines the best elements of research and swashbuckling adventure.”

This England, Winter, 2006

“We explore an even more intrepid itinerary with a man who is circumnavigating the globe following Sir Francis Drake’s route…”
