Voodoo God: Three Hundred Years of Solitude

In 1680, the female pirate Eliano salvaged a "cargo" from the bottom of the sea-Agoway. He is the voodoo demigod who has been sleeping for thousands of years, the storm itself, and the number one heretic on the church's hunting list. From the slave ships of the Triangular Trade to the smoke of the Haitian Revolution, from the landing craft in Normandy to the countdown to the Cuban missiles. His pursuit of freedom ended up in shackles. He witnesses miracles and causes disasters. "I'm not a god," he said, "I've just lived long enough to see all the lies."
