Neptune's Fortune by Julian Sancton
Julian Sancton
We the Women by Norah O'Donnell and Kate Andersen Brower
Norah O’Donnell and Kate Andersen Brower


The riveting true story of a legendary Spanish galleon that sunk off the coast of Colombia with over $1 billion in gold and silver — and one man’s obsessive quest to find it — from the New York Times bestselling author of Madhouse at the End of the Earth.

We the Women is a vivid portrait of the unsung American women from 1776 to today who changed the course of history in their fight for freedom and helped shape a more perfect union.
