AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Nick Lawrance, an antique map dealer, is shocked to find his gallery has been burgled. However, this isn’t an ordinary robbery: the thieves have ignored priceless maps and have only taken Bunting’s World Map. All of a sudden, Nick is thrown into a four-hundred-year religious mystery where strange people around him will do anything for this map … even kill for it. Nick has to figure out why, before it’s too late.

'Thrilling and steeped in dark history, The Bunting Quest is inspired by a real-life map that displays the Australian coastline many years before its ‘discovery’. Here, two compelling adventures, set hundreds of years apart, come together in this breathtaking page-turner that reveals mankind’s greatest secret. ' (Publication summary)

'Steven Marcuson, a map store owner in Western Australia, has leveraged his obsession with a historical curiosity into a page-turning thriller. The object in question – Heinrich Bunting's 1581 map of the world – is an odd piece of cartography even for its time: Madagascar is missing, for instance, and the boot of Italy twists the wrong way around. ...'
