The Columbus Affair by Steve Berry


The Columbus Affair has the hallmark of a Steve Berry novel - action, history, secrets and conspiracy.

Hardback:  For 500 years, historians have pondered the question:  Who was Christopher Columbus?  The answer is simply another question:  Who do you want him to be? - Anonymous.

Christopher Columbus changed the course of human history.

But we know even less about Columbus than we know about William Shakespeare.

No one knows his real name, nor when he was born.

No known authentic portrait of him exists.

Even his grave remains a mystery, as his bones have never been identified.

Tom Sagan is about to confront this ancient mystery head on and what he discovers could not only cost him his life, but alter the modern political world.

A scintillating tale, meticulously researched, The Columbus Affair is a high-tension thriller that catapults the reader from underground Vienna to the streets of Prague and finally into the treacherous mountains of Jamaica.

When the last astounding secret is revealed, you will be asking yourself:  could it be true?

And the answer will shock you.
