For Ben Hope, the battle is only just beginning...When the ship Santa Teresa was sunk during the Spanish Armada's attack on England, it took to a watery grave a cask of documents that held explosive secrets of espionage and treason. Now, more than 400 years later, those documents have been recovered and a major drugs baron from South America wants them at any cost. Ex-SAS officer Ben Hope gets pulled into a hostage recovery situation more vital than any he's worked on before — the woman caught up in the drug baron's theft of those papers is Brooke Marcel, Ben's ex. Taking in Ireland, Spain and the rainforests of Peru, The Armada Legacy is Scott Mariani's biggest and boldest novel to date: life-or-death action on an epic scale.
