Description
pp. 279, softbound, with texts and b/w illustrations. ISBN: 1-4116-7588-6. FICTION. The Manila galleon was the richest treasure ship sailing between Acapulco and Manila for 250 years. The Manila Galleon is two adventure-thrillers dovetailing chapter-by-chapter—one in 1704, the other today. Protagonists in each—one an innocent young privateer from the frontier town of New York; the other a jaded National Geographic writer from modern Manhattan—share a mystery: trying to understand the purpose of a mysterious statue aboard a treasure ship. In the past, it is possessed by a Jesuit with world-shaking ambitions. The stakes are equally high on the modern side—a fortune in treasure. If Muslim terrorists seize it, the Religious World War will explode to unimaginable levels. Jason Schoonover has been a writer and an anthropologist since the 1970s. As a field collector of primitive art and antiquities, his collections are found in museums around the world and in private collections. South and Southeast Asia are his main areas of interest.
