Mostly to the very high standard of all The Seafarers series, but one thing perplexes me: Amerigo Vespucci is reduced to a very brief passing mention. It almost feels as if he was wilfully glossed over, whilst the author clearly worshipped Magellan. For what I perceive as imbalance I have to take a star off.
