Silver's Odyssey: A novel of survival in 17th century Spanish Colonial Florida from the shipwrecked Atocha galleon.

Here is the story of a 1622 Spanish shipwrecked soldier's fantastic survival trek through coastal and inland Florida. Physical and emotional challenges of the highest order confront him on a four-year COLD MOUNTAIN-south adventure through a world few Europeans had seen. He survives the sinking of the famed silver-laden galleon Atocha in the Florida keys and is prodded in action using instinctive outdoor traits and the will to live. Written in the spirit of Daniel Defoe's ROBINSON CRUSOE, our lieutenant becomes self-reliant in a foreign wilderness, striving to return home, honor intact, aided by a sharp Toledo sword.
