Description

Marco Polo's nickname "Marco of the millions" was born from the exaggerations of his Venetian countrymen. As he lay dying, he confessed that he had only told half the story of his travels.

In his new novel, Gary Jennings imagines the rest - a tale of adventure, danger and discovery. From the palaces and backstreets of medieval Venice to the courts of Kublai Khan, Marco Polo's journey takes him through the perfumed lands of the Levant and along the treacherous Silk Road.

With his insatiable curiosity and appetite for new experiences, Marco becomes a merchant, warrior, lover, spy and tax collector - always a journeyer at heart. This epic account is a magnificent and delightful tale of one of history's greatest adventurers.
