As soon as I read the description of this book I just had to check it out.  The idea that the US is named after a lowly fish merchant and not the explorer Amerigo Vespucci is really intriguing, and I wanted to see where the author went with it. The Fountain of Youth is also a legend that has fascinated me for a while now and I always like reading about it.Overall, the author tackled the issue of a great historical cover up in a very believable way.  But that’s not what the book is all about.  It has plenty of action and suspense, but the characters are also very lifelike, and really add depth to this fast paced thriller.  I read this book in 2 days despite its length, since I just had to find out what happens next. I don’t want to give any spoilers, but I will that the book contains some pretty unexpected, though logical, twists.
