Simultaneously the Maine battleship is destroyed (Feb. 15, 1898) in Havana harbour by an explosion that killed 260 men, one day ahead of its return after finishing his peacemaking mission. Ex-agent Hércules Guzmán Fox and S.S.P. agent George Lincoln initiate an against the clock race to discover the truth. They will have to decipher secret codes and escape through numerous tribulations to save their lives. A puzzle they will have to unveil before the USA - Spain war explodes. But they are not alone. A secret society wants the truth stay concealed, to find out and recapture a hidden treasure, also sought after by Columbus, hidden in Havana for centuries.
A mysterious and fast-paced historical thriller in the vein of The Da Vinci Code. This exciting work brings together the Viking princess Gudrid and the Constantine treasure of Columbus; and the historical figures Unamuno, Pablo Iglesias, and Churchill with the Masonic sect of the Knights of Columbus and the intrigues of Roosevelt in the White House, all in order to solve the mystery behind the sinking of the Maine, historical moment that marked the beginning of the rise of the United States as a world power.
Did you know?
- After more than 100 years, two investigative commissions, and hundreds of specialized books, no one has been able to demonstrate with certainty what happened to the Maine.
- The American newspaper magnate, Mr. Hearst, was one of the principal suspects in the conspiracies to sink the Maine.
- The Knights of Columbus is an American sect founded by Father McGivney in order to protect Catholics.
- Christopher Columbus was called the Franciscan brother Pietro Columbus and was educated in the monastery of Evora (Portugal). Further, it’s possible that he was sent to America and that the trip was not his own decision.

- For its impressive documentation and its illustrative material from the time period.
