The novels “The Path of the Conquistador” and “The Split of the Tribe” open the famous “Saga of the Conquistador” by Don Coldsmith. Cadet Juan Garcia, who had the imprudence to have an affair with the daughter of the commandant of the Academy, paid severely for his insolence: as punishment, the young Spaniard was sent to New Light, into the very heart of an unexplored continent. Accidentally falling behind the squad during one of the forays, Garcia ends up among a tribe of savages who mistake him for a god. Finding himself among foreigners, the Spaniard passionately desires to return to his own people, but circumstances turn out differently: Garcia will have to learn to live according to the laws of another people and is destined to become part of it.
