“I can't say enough about Mr. Jennings works of historical fiction. Perhaps his son or Ken Follet will pick-up the torch for the deceased and sorely missed author... Jennings novels made real impressions on me, honing my interest in history into a near-fixation. I'll miss you sir!
Imagine Strolling through a Natural History museum, in the Central America aisle or section, and Everything comes to life in front of your eyes, behaving and living as they should!
*Sexy and controversial, this is for adults only. I imagine every Aztec-researching student has read this book multible times. I would have, but I found ALL the other Jennings books on the library shelves and read them instead.
I stood on the Yucatan pennisula on the coast where the Spanish conquistador Hernando Cortez came ashore, SO halfway through this novel, I felt as if a ghost had just stirred my memories into a turmoil. I was so impressed that I am surprised I didn't come down with some old version of spanish small-pox! ”
