Overview: More than one hundred years after Columbus came ashore on Hispaniola, the West Indies are held in Spain’s iron fist, and no threat to that absolute rule is tolerated. But such total control cannot last, not with the riches of an empire at stake. French, English and Dutch all struggle to pry open the Spanish grip. But one threat, little noticed at first, will emerge as the most dangerous of all: the buccaneers.
The Buccaneers, the half-wild men, who shun civilization and are shunned in turn, eke out a living hunting wild cattle on the shores of Hispaniola. Among them, Jean-Baptiste LeBoeuf — hulking, silent, deadly with musket and blade — lives out his exile, content that no one in the hunters’ camp is at all curious about his past. But the Spanish authorities in Santo Domingo are not willing to ignore even this minor incursion into Spanish rule, foremost among them Don Alonso Menéndez de Aviles, lieutenant governor of the island and a man with his own ambitions. When at last the Spanish attempt to drive the buccaneer menace out, they succeed only in turning those violent men into a clear and present danger to the Empire of Spain.
