Synopsis

Five hundred years ago, a group of Spanish conquistadors searching for gold, led by a young and brilliant commander named Simon De Oliveras, land in the New World. What they find in this uncharted land is a treasure far more valuable: the Fountain of Youth. The Spaniards slaughter the Uzita, the Native American tribe who guard the precious waters that will keep the conquistadors young for centuries. But one escapes: Shako, the chief's fierce and beautiful daughter, who swears to avenge her people—a blood oath that spans more than five centuries . . .

When the source of the fountain is destroyed in time, the loss threatens Simon and his men, and the powerful, shadowy empire of wealth and influence they have built. For help, they turn to David Robinton, a scientific prodigy who believes he is on the verge of the greatest medical breakthrough of all time. But as the centuries-old war between Shako and Simon reaches its final stages, David makes a horrifying discovery about his employers and the mysterious and exotic woman he loves. Now, the scientist must decide: is he a pawn in a game of immortals . . . or will he be its only winner?

Goodreads review by Carolyn on August 04, 2015

It's pretty hard to put this book down once you get started. The Eternal World: A Novel is a fast paced novel involving Spanish conquistadors and the quest for eternal life.

Goodreads review by Brittany on April 05, 2024

If you really enjoy some tough philosophical questions and morally grey characters in your realistic sci-fi, this is the one for you. Had to knock it down a star though because the people you're supposed to be rooting for aren't very likeable. There's pretty much no character arcs for anybody unless......more
