Seven Voyages: The Epic Journeys of Zheng He That Established China as a Global Power

From New York Times bestselling author Laurence Bergreen and author Sara Fray comes this immaculately researched history for young readers detailing the life of Zheng He, his complex and enduring friendship with his emperor, and the epic Seven Voyages he led that would establish China as a global power.

The year is 1405, on the central coast of China. At nearly seven feet tall, Admiral Zheng He looks out at the sea before him, ready to embark on a journey that will change history. For the next three decades, the oceans will be his home as he commands over 1,500 ships and thousands of sailors in seven voyages that will predate the heart of the European Age of Exploration.

Join Zheng He as he explores the Northern Pacific and Indian Oceans, traveling as far as the east coast of Africa, expanding Chinese power globally, battling pirates, and capturing enemies along the way in the name of his emperor, Zhu Di. Discover the story of this giant figure who was not always at the helm of a ship, and witness how his epic journeys shaped the world.
