About the book
God Carlos transports the reader to a voyage aboard the Santa Inez, a Spanish sailing vessel bound for the newly-discovered West Indies with an arrogant bunch of gold-seekers. When they arrive they find no gold; only a merciless climate that nurtures deadly disease. There are also the Arawaks, a native tribe who believed the Europeans had come from heaven. This impossible entanglement of culture, custom and beliefs ultimately ends in doom. Written by acclaimed Jamaican author Anthony C. Winkler, God Carlos is a gripping tale that virtually pulls readers into the story.
