Vingança Asteca

Aztec #3.2

by Gary Jennings

Quinto e último livro da saga sobre a civilização asteca, Vingança asteca é um romance de ritmo intenso e apaixonante. Mais uma vez, Gary Jennings convida o leitor a se solidarizar com um povo que teve suas terras tomadas e seu moral destruído pelo reino mais poderoso do mundo: a Espanha, que submeteu por meio da força o poderoso Império Asteca e praticamente eliminou sua civilização da face da Terra.

About the author

Gary Jennings led a paradoxically picaresque life. On one hand, he was a man of acknowledged intellect and erudition. His novels were international best sellers, praised around the world for their stylish prose, lively wit and adventurously bawdy spirit. They were also massive - often topping 500,000 words - and widely acclaimed for the years of research he put into each one, both in libraries and in the field.

Jennings served in the Korean War, where he was awarded the Bronze Star Medal- a decoration rarely given to soldier-reporters- and a personal citation by South Korean President Syngman Rhee for his efforts on behalf of war orphans.

Where the erudition came from, however, was something of a mystery.
