About the author

George Griffith (1857 – 1906), full name George Chetwynd Griffith-Jones, was a prolific British science fiction writer and noted explorer who wrote during the late Victorian and Edwardian age. Many of his visionary tales appeared in magazines such as Pearson's Magazine and Pearson's Weekly before being published as novels. Griffith was extremely popular in the United Kingdom, though he failed to find similar acclaim in the United States, in part due to his revolutionary and socialist views. A journalist, rather than scientist, by background, what his stories lack in scientific rigour and literary grace they make up for in sheer exuberance of execution.

Reviews

[DOUGLAS J BERRY · Rating 5 out of 5]

A sci fi fantasy about a reawakened inca empire.

Freebie. Quite good, accurate depiction of inca culture. I only question if viracoya would listen to joyful star and give up his sister wife?
