About this listen
Young John Forrester never knew his father, a man who left his family and his home in England in search of the treasure of El Dorado…and disappeared. But when he receives news that his father is still alive and being held prisoner in Spain, John is thrust on a mission to save him…but he must save England first.
From the author of John Treegate’s Musket—the gripping historical fiction novel set during the American Revolutionary War—comes another thrilling tale set during the daring raid on the Spanish Fleet in Cadiz in 1587… an attack that Sir Francis Drake called “the singeing of the King of Spain’s beard.”
“A dashing tale told as the personal history of young John Forrester who sailed with Sir Francis Drake and helped to singe the Spanish King Phillip’s beard in the famous Cadiz raid of 1587. Here is wonderful Elizabethan and New World background and closely written suspense.”—Kirkus
“Delightful reading for adults and thrilling fare for teenagers.”—Los Angeles Times
