Aztec Fire

By Gary Jennings, Junius Podrug, Robert Gleason

Book Overview

The fascinating history of Mexico that began in the #1 New York Times bestselling novel Aztec continues Juan Rios comes from a long line of Aztec warriors. Slave to a Spanish gun-maker, he becomes the finest gunsmith and sharpshooter in colonial Mexico. But Juan has a secret life as the revolucion's #1 gun-runner. Juan falls for the beautiful Maria, a beautiful writer and fearless revolucionaria whose dream of freedom is a liability for them both. The hard-drinking, womanizing, con-man Luis becomes their last hope against the rack, the stake, and the blood-stained torture dungeons of the Inquisition. Aztec Fire sweeps readers on a perilous journey from the fabled ruins of ancient Tula to the slave-labor galleons of "the Manila Run" to a South Seas jungle island teeming with crocodiles, snakes, and blood-crazed cannibals. When Juan and his friends finally reach home, they find their country in flames, struggling against its hated Spanish oppressors.

Terrific!

Loved this!!! Not as good as the first Aztec--- but still a very good read especially if you have an interest in Mexico.

Great addition to the collection

This book is another great one in the Aztec series. If you liked "The Aztec" then get this book.
