The Manila Galleon was the annual treasure ship sailing between Acapulco and Manila for 250 years. The Manila Galleon launches a new sub-genre — that of the anthropological/archaeological-adventure-thriller. It’s two interlocking adventures — one in 1704, the other today. Protagonists in each — one a young privateer from the frontier town of New York, the other an adventurer from modern Manhattan—try to claim the galleon. Each tries to understand the purpose of a mysterious statue aboard. In the past, it is possessed by a Jesuit with world-shaking ambitions. The stakes are equally high on the modern side — a fortune in treasure. If al-Queda linked Asian terrorists seize it, the Religious World War we're engaged in will explode to unimaginable levels. Past and present collide in a startling multi-layered climax, restoring a historic Legend to his rightful place in history.
