“Deeply researched, devastating novel of the dawn of Caribbean colonialism…illuminates the drift of history and how a diverse array of leaders…arrived at decisions that shaped history.”—booklife
“…a wonderful reimagination of a consequence-heavy moment of world history, something like a chronicle of a holocaust foretold, slowly, methodically, and menacingly. Fascinating and compellingly written.”—Greg Grandin, America, América: A New History of the New World
“…the Spanish conquest of the Caribbean…is one of the most fascinating, and important, chapters in the encounter between the native people of the Americas and Europeans. This exciting retelling of the narrative brings the people on both sides to life in an excellent page-turner…”—Samuel M. Wilson, Hispaniola: Caribbean Chiefdoms in the Age of Columbus
“…an excellent and original account of the dramatic and momentous events that took place at the dawn of the conquest and colonization of the New World…moving and enlightening for any reader interested in understanding the origins of American history.”—Manuel García Arévalo, member of the Dominican Academy of History
“An enthralling historical novel…chronicles the ruinous progress of European colonialism.”—Foreword
