The Fortuitous Meeting by Christopher Kastensmidt

3.0

This isn't that bad a novella, making good use of the mythology and history of the discovery of the New World. The one false note, however, is somewhat off. And I don't blame Kastensmidt, I'm not really sure how he could have solved the problem, so the fact that he addressed the issue is worth something. After Gerard buys and frees Oludara, he has the formerly enslaved African if any of the other slaves were his family. The answer is no, and Oludara seems to be fine letting them be enslaved. This seems slightly false because he did cross the ocean with them.
