In 1576, Queen Elizabeth of England ordered Captain Francis Drake on a three-year mission to pirate gold, silver, and precious jewels from King Phillip of Spain. Over four hundred years later, the heirs to Drake's marauders are still fighting over a fortune. Enter attorney Conrad Olsen. He has grown tired with the practice of law, when Daniel Fletcher comes asking for help to find the lost treasure. Against his better judgment, Conrad agrees to represent Daniel Fletcher, the distant relative to Father Francis Fletcher - the expedition's priest. What comes next completely alters Conrad's life and rewrites the history of western civilization. Set against the backdrop of the 2016 Presidential election, Conrad's investigation into Drake's hidden treasure reveals a world of deceit, double dealing, and his father's possible involvement in a covered-up murder in 1979.

Download The Secret Voyage of Sir Francis Drake Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
In The Secret Voyage of Sir Francis Drake, Samuel Bawlf offers fascinating insight into life at sea in the sixteenth century, from the dangers of mutiny and the difficulty of understanding patterns of wind and current to the arduous physical challenges faced every day by Drake’s men. But it is Bawlf's assertion of Drake’s whereabouts in the summer of 1579 that gives his book its exciting originality. Based especially on his seminal study of maps produced after the voyage, Bawlf shows with certainty that Drake sailed all the way to Alaska, much farther north than anyone has heretofore imagined, thereby rewriting the history of exploration. He was, Bawlf claims, in search of the western entrance to the fabled Northwest Passage, at which he planned to found England’s first colony, and wrest control of the Pacific from Spain. Drake’s voyage was in fact so far ahead of its time that another 200 years would pass before the eighteenth-century explorers of record reached the northwest coast of North America.
