Fun book, well written. I get the impression the author created a story from a rough approximation of history in the early days of the Spanish invasion of the SE - Florida and such. I'm fine with that - makes a good story. The story follows a man as he is captured and enslaved by the Spanish, detailing the days of that slavery in terms that at times seem overly kind. But who's to say - his version of what the Spanish might have been like might be right. Eventually making his way back to his own people, to be rejected by them as he tries to help them prepare for the devastation that lies ahead of them. This part seems realistic and likely to me, given human nature.
