Four centuries ago; Henry Hudson discovered the majestic river that now bears his name. Douglas Hunter's Half Moon is the first book-length history of the 1609 adventure that would ultimately reshape the New World and lead to the birth of a global capital―New York City. This swiftly moving tale re-creates the bubbling mixture of espionage; economics; and politics that drove men to the edges of the known world―and beyond. In a feat of forensic cartography; Hunter offers a fresh perspective on the daring Hudson's motivation and objectives―and even on where he went. Half Moon is a rich narrative of adventure;filled with international intrigue; business drama; and the thrill of discovery.
