Overview:

A pitch-perfect story of the adventures and betrayals of men under duress in a strange, exotic land, The Rising Sun establishes Douglas Galbraith as a writer of uncommon resonance and skill. In 1698, five vessels from Scotland embarked on a perilous voyage, intending to found a colony on the northern coast of Panama. The Rising Sun is the story of this mission and its tragic outcome, as recorded by one young ship worker, Roderick Mackenzie. Mackenzie is quickly caught up in the intrigues of his fellow colonists -- rivalries that will prove overwhelming as nationalist optimism gives way to the brutal realities of their hardscrabble life of rain, mud, and disease.
