![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Born in Buena Vista, Virginia in 1928, Jennings passed away in 1999 in Pompton Lakes, New Jersey, leaving behind a rich legacy of historical fiction and outlines for new novels. If you like history, though, it’s worth the long read. The book is very, VERY long, so plan on spending some time with it. Los Angeles Times About the Author Gary Jennings was known for the rigorous and intensive research behind his books, which often included hazardous travel-exploring every corner of Mexico for his Aztec novels, retracing the numerous wanderings of Marco Polo for The Journeyers, joining nine different circuses for Spangle, and roaming the Balkans for Raptor. By telling his story, the merchant pretty much lays out the entire history of the Aztecs, as well as all of Central and South America. ![]() The New York Times Anyone who reads, anyone who still lusts for adventure or that book you cant put down, will glory in Aztec. Review Quotes A dazzling and hypnotic historical novel. The story of Mixtli is the story of the Aztecs themselves-a compelling, epic tale of heroic dignity and a colossal civilizations rise and fall. Told in the words of one of the most robust and memorable characters in modern fiction, Mixtli-Dark Cloud, Aztec reveals the very depths of Aztec civilization from the peak and feather-banner splendor of the Aztec Capital of Tenochtitlan to the arrival of Hernn Corts and his conquistadores, and their destruction of the Aztec empire. Book Synopsis Gary Jenningss Aztec is the extraordinary story of the last and greatest native civilization of North America. ![]()
