Ahead lie the harbours of the Franks, where everyone wants something from a junk with wheels in her belly and charts no one else has seen. In Lagos, a widow with caravels wants the road round Africa. In Venice, the Council of Ten wants the ship's secrets locked away. In Constantinople, an emperor's brother walks walls with too few men on them. On the Narva, a knight of the Teutonic Order wants guns for his war.Captain Chen Dinghai carries a seal from a dead admiral, a crew who no longer agree on why they sailed, and a navigator who knows more about her own charts than she has told him. To free the ship he pays a price that was never his to pay, and he hides it from the one person it belongs to.Then the crew turn west, into a sea no Ming chart has drawn. They pass the last Norse farms of Greenland and a coast whose people have no word for sorry. They reach the market of Tlatelolco, the flooded forest of the great river, the wall of ice at the bottom of the world, and the mountain roads of the Inca. They went looking for the empire's forgotten people. They find a world where every coast already has its people, and its own names.The Unmapped World is the second novel of The Eighth Voyage, a trilogy of the voyage the Ming tried to forget.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers2.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/9/79/816/474/9798164740085_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "21.99", "online_price" : "21.99", "our_price" : "21.99", "club_price" : "21.99", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
