Thomas Seinbeck's "In the Shade of the Cypress" (published 2010) is a historical novel whose main character is Zhou Man.
In his book 1421: The Year China Discovered the World, amateur historian Gavin Menzies claimed that Zhou Man's fleet approached and mapped the Pacific coast of North America and may have been wiped out by a megatsunami resulting from a meteor impact creating Mahuika crater.
