In this panoramic narrative, two of John Cabot's sons travel to the New World, while middle son Sebastian remains behind in Bristol. Youngest son Sancio records his experiences as Cabot's crew is shipwrecked, clashes with natives, and ultimately becomes victim to another European fleet. Though involving, the lengthy novel is slowed by the inclusion of excessive background information.
