Don Pedro #1

Set sail with Don Pedro — this 2018 BSV Hannover release opens with a striking cover that captures a bold, black-clad figure standing triumphant atop the rigging of a galleon, sword raised against an open sky as a great heraldic banner unfurls beside him and a fleet of tall ships fills the horizon behind. The rich golds, reds, and blues of the period-accurate coats of arms give the whole scene a genuine sense of high-seas spectacle. At 24,80 EUR, it's a handsomely presented volume for anyone drawn to swashbuckling adventure rooted in the age of sail.
