![]() But he also faces war, catastrophic drought, betrayal and the rise of an evil death-cult religion. ![]() ![]() Gathering artists, scientists and craftsmen, this legendary ruler builds a city that will awe humanity for one thousand years. Gifted in math and astronomy, Coyotl rises to king’s counselor in Tula, a golden city of milk and honey ruled by the brilliant god-king, Quetzalcoatl, the Feathered Serpent of lore. A young Aztec-Mayan slave tells us its story. In ancient Mexico, the “End-Time Codex”–prophesizing the world’s end in 2012–is entombed. They also predicted the end of the world in 2012 (matching the predictions of numerous other cultures and ancient civilizations)…how could I resist this book? They played sweet ballgames and built majestic cities, and, oh yeah, practiced all kinds of crazy human sacrifice. They accurately recorded the length of the lunar cycle to within 0.00027 of our current measurements. Why did I read this book: I have been fascinated by the Maya ever since I met these early astronomers in the seventh grade. Stand alone or series: Book 3 in the Aztec series, but can theoretically be read as a stand alone novel. ![]() Genre: Speculative Fiction, Thriller, Historical-Fantasy Author: Gary Jennings, Robert Gleason & Julius Podrug ![]()
