Description



About the Book



For decades, England has sold the defeat of our Invincible Armada, in the English Channel, as a great success for the Anglo-Saxons. In reality the combat ended in a draw (the English had more casualties), in the context of a war that lasted 16 years and that, in the end, Spain won. A year later, the Spanish inflicted an even greater defeat on their rivals in La Coruña and Lisbon than that of the Invincible: 190 ships had theirs in 1589 in comparison to our 130 in 1588, but both returned home with only 102. In this context, the real one is that of author Juan Pérez-Foncea, who situates the adventures and vicissitudes of Santiago Guriezo, surrounded by essential characters of that period such as Alonso de Leyva, the second commander of the Invincible (and whom Cervantes extolled in La Galatea). A vibrant and well-woven plot reveals to the reader, documented with exquisite rigor, the true history of those legendary years.



About the Author



JUAN PÉREZ-FONCEA nació en San Sebastián en 1965. Tras licenciarse en Derecho, una beca del Ministerio de Asuntos Exteriores le permitió especializarse en Derecho Internacional y Europeo en las Universidades de Lovaina y Lieja (Bélgica). Trabajó como abogado de empresas en España y Francia durante 14 años, y así hubiera continuado hasta hoy, si no hubiera sido porque, un buen día de 2002, de un modo enteramente casual, casi sin saberlo, comenzó a escribir su primer libro, dando inicio su carrera literaria como autor de novelas de fantasía épica. Su paso a la novela histórica se produjo en 2012. Desde entonces lleva publicados títulos tan exitosos como 'Los Tercios no se rinden', 'El héroe del Caribe. La última batalla de Blas de Lezo', 'Venced al corsario inglés' o 'Invencibles', editados todos ellos por Almuzara. Sus obras cuentan con miles de lectores a ambos lados del Atlántico.
