Summary

Summary

International best-selling author Arturo Perez-Reverte, a celebrated master of smart, gripping thrillers, draws favorable comparisons to such literary legends as Herman Melville, Joseph Conrad, and Patrick O'Brian. Translated into 19 languages, his books have sold more than three million copies worldwide. At a maritime auction in Barcelona, Merchant Marine officer Manuel Coy sees an intense bidding war erupt over a seemingly innocuous 18th-century atlas. The auction winner is the beautiful Tanger Soto, who is obsessed with a Jesuit ship sunk by pirates in the 17th century. Joining forces, Tanger and Manuel hit the seas in search of Dei Gloria and its precious, yet unidentified, cargo. Their quest sends them not only into dangerous waters, but also into the perilous recesses of the human heart. Full of adventure and suspense, The Nautical Chart is a masterful romance of the sea. George Guidall's thrilling reading makes for an unforgettable listening experience.

Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“With his chess-like plots and mysterious characters, Arturo Pérez-Reverte has established himself as the master of the intellectual thriller, a reputation again confirmed with The Nautical Chart.” —Chicago Tribune
“A treasure hunt for a Jesuit ship sunk by pirates off the coast of Spain is the plot on which Perez-Reverte’s new novel turns, but a love story is the real heart of this nicely crafted, carefully told adventure.” —Amazon.com, editorial review
“Adept as ever at mixing historical and contemporary material, Pérez-Reverte takes his genrebending to another level this time by merging the swashbuckling spirit of the best sea adventures with an introspective, philosophical meditation on the idea of navigation.”  —Booklist (starred review)
“Spanish master Pérez-Reverte has a streamlined approach to novel writing: he takes a research subject say, fencing or rare books, and uses it to construct a story rich in suspense, detail, and character study.” —Library Journal
