Publisher's Synopsis
The Golden Heresy by Clifford A. Perry is a historical fiction novel set in the 16th century. The story follows the journey of a young man named Juan de la Cosa, who is a cartographer and sailor, as he navigates through the treacherous waters of the Caribbean during the height of the Spanish Inquisition. Juan finds himself caught up in a dangerous game of politics and religion as he becomes embroiled in a plot to smuggle a valuable artifact out of the New World. The artifact, a golden statue of a pagan god, is believed to hold the key to unlocking great power and wealth. Juan must navigate through a web of deceit and betrayal as he tries to keep the statue out of the hands of those who would use it for their own gain. Along the way, he encounters a cast of colorful characters, including a beautiful but dangerous woman, a ruthless Inquisitor, and a group of indigenous people who may hold the key to the statue's true meaning. The Golden Heresy is a thrilling adventure story that blends history, mystery, and action into a captivating tale of greed, power, and redemption.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
