In 1519 Magellan and his fleet of five ships set sail from Seville, Spain, to discover a water route to the fabled Spice Islands in Indonesia, where the most sought-after commodities (cloves, pepper, and nutmeg) flourished. Three years later, a handful of survivors returned with an abundance of spices from their intended destination, but with just one ship carrying 18 emaciated men. During their remarkable voyage around the world the crew endured starvation, disease, mutiny, and torture. Many men died, including Magellan, who was violently killed in a fierce battle.

Interesting story but not overly compelling

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
I enjoyed the book enough not regret listening to it. There certainly were very interesting parts of the story. It simply wasn't consistently interesting.
