A history professor, Ross Turner, makes a valuable find in Rouen, France when he discovers a previously unknown journal covering Verrazzano's voyage to North America in 1524. Professor Turner's translation of the journal reveals many details about the people and the voyage, along with insights into many changes occurring in the sixteenth century.
This historical fiction is thoroughly researched using authoritative sources for the momentous voyage. It was a voyage of several important firsts: the first to fill in the map between Florida and Newfoundland; the first to record contacts with Native Americans on the east coast of the United States; the first to show there is no water passage through the continent.
The journal tells the story of the Verrazzano brothers' efforts to realize their separate ambitions, often foiled by the politics of French international conflicts. While translating Verrazzano's journal the history professor finds personal conflicts interfering with his own work.
