Durante decenios, desde Inglaterra se ha vendido la derrota de nuestra Armada Invencible, en el Canal de la Mancha, como un gran éxito de los anglosajones. En realidad el combate quedó en tablas (los ingleses tuvieron más bajas), en el contexto de una guerra que duró 16 años y que, a la postre, ganó España. Un año después, los españoles infligieron a sus rivales en La Coruña y Lisboa una derrota aún mayor que la de la Invencible: 190 barcos tenía la suya en 1589 por 130 la nuestra en 1588, pero ambas regresaron a casa con tan solo 102.  En ese contexto, el real, sitúa Juan Pérez-Foncea, autor de "Los Tercios no se rinden" o "El héroe del Caribe", las aventuras y peripecias de Santiago Guriezo, rodeado de personajes esenciales de aquel periodo como Alonso de Leyva, el segundo comandante de la Invencible (y a quien Cervantes ensalzó en La Galatea). Una vibrante y bien urdida trama da a conocer al lector, documentada con exquisito rigor, la verdadera historia de aquellos años de legendarias batallas y épica desbordante.
For decades, England has sold the defeat of our Invincible Armada, in the English Channel, as a great success for the Anglo-Saxons. In reality the combat ended in a draw (the English had more casualties), in the context of a war that lasted 16 years and that, in the end, Spain won. A year later, the Spanish inflicted an even greater defeat on their rivals in La Coruña and Lisbon than that of the Invincible: 190 ships had theirs in 1589 in comparison to our 130 in 1588, but both returned home with only 102. In this context, the real one is that of author Juan Pérez-Foncea, who situates the adventures and vicissitudes of Santiago Guriezo, surrounded by essential characters of that period such as Alonso de Leyva, the second commander of the Invincible (and whom Cervantes extolled in La Galatea). A vibrant and well-woven plot reveals to the reader, documented with exquisite rigor, the true history of those legendary years.
