An excellent read and it ticked several boxes of things for me, which I love reading about: history, exploration and the struggle for survival. What these men accomplished during the 16th century was equally breathtaking, horrifying and wrong and it turned this book into a real pageturner.
The only complaint I have about this book is that the author sometimes goes on a tangent, talking about things that are not essential to the actual story. But other than that, this has been a truly gripping story.
