1677 - snatched from an Irish village by Barbary corsairs, seventeen-year-old Hector Lynch is sold at auction in Algiers. Befriended by fellow captive Dan, a Miskito Indian from the Caribbean, he finds himself in a bewildering world where life is cheap and only the quick-witted survive. To escape the horror of the slave barracks, the two friends convert to Islam; then, serving aboard a Turkish ship, their vessel is sunk at sea.
