Includes bibliography.
In this her fourth novel, Carla M. Pacis weaves history and imagination together to speculate on the controversial theory that the first person to circumnavifate the world could have come from our archipelago. She imagines just such boys and names him Yabon. His adventures begin when he flees, together with his family and others of his island home, from their despotic datu. At sea they are attacked by sea pirates, with Yabon being one of the few survivors. He is delivered to a slave market where he is bought by the Portugese captain Fernao de Magalhaes whom we now call Magellan. He receives a new name, Enrique, and a new life, a life fiull of travel and new lands, a life which awakens his intelligence and spirit, a life full of dangers both physical and moral. On one last voyage, the galleons of Magalhaes discover what Enrique recognizes as his own birthplace: he has come full circle around the world.
