This is one of my favorites biographies with a surprising amount of detail and tension. At times it feels more like a thriller. It is both great history and a marvelous story. Dugard has brought Columbus to life with a fast paced, suspenseful account of his last voyage. You will likely come away with a new respect for the man that took such great risks, despite his many errors in judgment and geography. ( )

Like other readers, I found this book to be well researched yet fast-paced. I didn't know much about Columbus's last voyage, only about his first. I learned a lot about Columbus despite being fairly well read on the early voyages to the Americas. A great true adventure tale ( )
