The Incas: A Magical Epic About a Lost World

The Incas: A Magical Epic About a Lost World Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Review:

"This is a big book in scope as well as in length (more than 1,000 pages, in small type, on a large page with narrow margins). It is an historical novel that deals in authentic detail with the tragic defeat of the Incas by their Spanish conquerors in 1530. For assistance in traversing this exciting travelogue, the author thoughtfully provides maps and a genealogy as well as a glossary of gods, characters, tribes, and places. The patient reader will be amply rewarded because the volume more than lives up to its romantic subtitle—'A magical epic about a lost world.' Indeed, one will thereafter be induced to read the author's two previously published companion books, The Luck of Huemac (dealing with the Aztecs) and Tikal (about the Maya). What is truly remarkable is that this successful writer is an amateur scholar and neither an academic nor a professional historian. Bravo!"
