In 1698, the fleet of the Rising Sun sets sail for the coast of Panama with about 2,000 Scottish colonists intending to found a settlement in Darién. The novel, narrated by young Roderick Mackenzie, self-appointed chronicler of the expedition, shows how initial optimism turns into a desperate struggle against rain, mud, and disease.
