Taking us back to the 1600s, master novelist Dr. Arnie P. Zimbelman enthralls with an unassailable masterpiece of engaging romance and intriguing secrets of treachery in BETRAYAL AT POPHAM: The “Lost Colony “of Maine.

The story embarks on the two shiploads of hopeful colonists as they arrive on the rugged coast of Maine in late spring, 1607. They are determined to establish Popham Colony as a permanent English presence, just as other English settlers were doing farther south at the Jamestown settlement. By diligent effort, they construct a substantial fort, Fort St. George, to serve as their base.

What these intrepid adventurers didn’t know is that one of them, Duke Esteban Menendez, has actually been recruited by the King of Spain as a spy to ensure that this British effort fails. Betrayal at Popham traces the efforts of this dedicated nobleman in his own words, from settlement of Popham Colony to its final abandonment. Adding a touch of romance to the tale of intrigue and betrayal is the tender relationship that develops between one of the Popham settlers, young Reggie Patterson, and the beautiful Abenaki Indian maiden, Angelique.

Gyrate around the issues behind the scenes of Betrayal At Popham: The “Lost Colony” of Maine.
