Outrun the Devil

Two interwoven stories. One voyage of discovery.

It’s late summer of 1492 and a bold explorer named Cristóbal Colón sets out on an

unprecedented adventure to discover a New World and carve his name in history.

Joining his intrepid crew is a young man fleeing the ravages of the Inquisition while

also striving to find his own path in the world. But also secretly onboard is a leader of

the Church, committed to ensuring that the young man fails in his ambition, desperate

as well to ensure his own place in the Inquisition hierarchy, even if it means sacrificing

his mortal soul.

Nearly 500 years later, a Dominican man flees his native land in the dark of night

following the assassination of the country’s tyrannical leader and subsequent pursuit

by that country’s vengeful protector. Making his way to America, the man flees from

one danger, only to draw inexorably closer to another.

The two stories, separated by the centuries, are linked in ways both tragic and astonishing.

The characters are real, as are all the emotions, the aspirations, and the fears. Outrun the

Devil is a story of discovery, terror, love, legacy, and just a touch of magic.
