Synopsis
Less than 100 years before Columbus and the dawn of the great age of European exploration, from 1405 to 1433, China ruled the world's oceans. This text draws on translations of eye-witness accounts and official Ming histories to depict this time in history.

Review
Taking the maritime story as her main theme, Levathes presents a fascinating picture of political and court life during the first several reigns of the Ming ... The story Levathes tells so skillfully could scarcely be more timely. (The Washington Post)
Both an eloquent and smooth sail through history, and a reminder the China should have been the world's great imperial power; a glimpse into a shrouded past, and a journey that is astonishing and fun. (Ken Auletta)
