review 1: Another excellent novel in Lovegrove's Pantheon series - it's the 20th century and the Aztec Empire has conquered the world with the help of advance technology. They are all powerful, even able to control the environment on a planetary scale. In a tropical Britain the reader is introduced to the two main characters: the "Batman-like" Conquistador battling the Aztec oppressors and the female Jaguar Warrior assigned to stop his acts of terrorism. Events take these characters to the heart of the Aztec domain where they learn the truth behind their power and get involved in a final confrontation that will decide the fate of the world. Lovegrove has created an interesting world with its "modern" Aztec society and their "Chariots of the Gods" origin. An enjoyable action-ori... moreented Sci Fi adventure - highly recommended.
review 2: This book was surprisingly entertaining. The premise is that instead of Spain crushing the Aztec empire, the Aztec Empire was surprisingly technologically advanced and resisted Spain and managed to create a worldwide empire and the world was all following the bloody Aztec religion. There were three castes of people - priests, warriors and general worker / peasant types. I thoroughly enjoyed the book. I felt like the author did a great job investigating Aztec culture and religion and even went into a bit about the Maya. It was interesting to think about the changes in world history that such an occurance would have created. less
