This action-packed novel is a fictionalized version of the ill-fated 16th-century expedition by Panfilo de Narvaez, and is based on the true Account of Cabeza de Vaca published in Spain in 1542. Its protagonist, Estevanico, was a Moorish slave in the service of Captain Dorantes. Both served under the command of the ruthless, one-eyed Panfilo de Narvaez. He and 600 inexperienced soldiers entered the dark jungle swamps of 'La Florida' on what they believed would be a grand and passionate conquest. This entertaining story highlights the exploits of Estevanico, who author/historian Douglas Preston has called 'one of the most extraordinary men in the history of the European discovery of America'.
