Karl May, "parintele" celebrului Winnetou, ne poarta din nou, cu acest "Capitan Kaiman", pe taramurile fermecatoare ale aventurii. Fie ca lupta in Vestul salbatic, sau pe mare, eroii sai dovedesc acelasi curaj, acelasi spirit de dreptate, aceeasi cutezanta, fara a le lipsi umorul, nici in cele mai grele situatii. Cu un deosebit talent, Karl May reuseste sa-l teleporteze pe cititor in framantata perioada a razboiului civil din S.U.A., facandu-l sa sufere sau sa se bucure alaturi de neintrecutul Winnetou, de Deadly-gun, de Dick Hammerdull, de Peter Polter si atatia altii.
