(Rating: PG-13) The Thirteenth novel in the award-winning "Tropical Frontier" series, The Last Caloosa is, in addition, the Third novel in the "Indian Fighter" sub-series.

The mighty Caloosa people - undisputed overlords of the lower Florida peninsula, supreme in their resistance to the encroaching Spanish Empire and their doomed emissary, the famed Admiral/Governor, Ponce de Leon - had lived and flourished along these verdant, tropical shores for a thousand years. As they, a people united, had watched the Spanish warships sail away that day - their dying commander onboard, a Caloosa poison-tipped arrow deep in his thigh - they had celebrated, victorious, unaware that they were witnessing the birth of their own demise.

Three hundred and fifty years later, living along the shores of a winding jungled creek, the once great Caloosa's once great numbers had dwindled to two: a young woman named Purple Flower, and a boy, a young man, named Little Chief, grandson of the notorious Chekeika, King of the Spanish Indians.
