HISTORICAL FICTION SURVIVAL
A howling hurricane in 1622 tosses young Lt. Luis Armador overboard, washing him onto Florida's savage SW shores. Meanwhile, his silver-ladened Atocha galleon sinks at sea, with 260 going to a watery grave.
A desperate quest for survival now begins in the wilderness, amongst bold native Americans--a world few Europeans had confronted. Wrenched to have left his betrothed's pleadings in Seville, he now feels a sense of remorse, but realizes he must gird up for the coming physical challenges.
Indian slavery humbles him, and he becomes obsessed with escape. It comes, but with a price, as his fellow escapees meet misfortune. Pieces of eight, carried from the ship, become resentful reminders of his plight, and a mission to cache them in an underground stream almost takes his life.
Though surrounded by tremendous beauty in the New World, he suffers further grief, both at an Indian mission and then at St. Augustine. However, brandishing his sword, he is dauntless in his quest, while maturing in the process.
