I thought this was a well-researched, detailed accounting of this true story. I really enjoy learning about history, especially historical events that aren’t often written about. The narrator of the audiobook did a great job of injecting personality into the tale. Sometimes a bit dramatic, but that made it fun.

"Empires preserve their power with the stories that they tell, but just as critical are the stories they don’t—the dark silences they impose, the pages they tear out." 

I can only call this thrilling book engrossing beyond belief. I was enthralled by this story of shipwrecked sailors and the horrors they faced on the Seas. The sailors' perseverance and fortitude were nothing short of miraculous; it was the human spirit on full display. I would also be remiss to point out the South American tribes who embodied and acted with friendship and understand to people who tried to change and villainize them. 
I truly enjoyed reading this book start to finish; Mystery, adventure, Murder and mayhem; it had it all!!
