Aztec Rage

Don Juan de Zavala was the most skilled fighter in all of New Spain - as gifted with weapons and horses as he was with women. These pleasures were all he desired. But the magnificent Aztec empire, its grand cities and riches lay broken under the Spanish boot...now valiant men and fearless women rise and battle their brutal overlords. As a warrior-priest leads an Aztec revolt, across the ocean in Spain, courageous people battle Napoleon's invading armies. No one, including Juan de Zavala, could stay neutral. Especially, if a shocking secret from Zavala's lurid past is exposed - a secret so lethal! to the Spanish Crown it threatens their very existence. Zavala will be swept from glittering Mexico City to snake-and- croc infested jungles, from lost Mayan civilizations to the torture chambers of the Inquisition, from beautiful Barcelona and the bloody carnage of Napoleon's war in Spain, to the bloodiest and most spectacular of New Spain's (colonial Mexico) revolutions.
