Los primeros de Filipinas

Year 1582. A formidable fleet of Japanese pirates intends to invade the island of Luzon, the largest in the Philippines, defended by just a handful of infantrymen from the Tercios. It will be the first time in history that the best warriors of East and West face each other. Juan Pérez-Foncea, author of historical novels, immerses the reader on this occasion in the details of the Battle of Cagayan, a military confrontation that, in the vicinity of the river of the same name, had to be faced by the Spanish Armada of the Philippines, commanded of Captain Juan Pablo de Carrión. Faithful to his trajectory, the author sheds a powerful light on a historical event that today's Spaniards, almost entirely, are completely unaware of.
