About the Author

John Regan was so fascinated by the voyage of Ferdinand Magellan that he followed him around the world in his yacht nearly 500 years later. He visited every place of importance in Magellan's life and brings to the story not only a deep interest in the history but also his nautical background as a master mariner.
The story of the first circumnavigation of the world and the politics of the 16th century has a strong resonance five centuries later.
