Hummingbird God: A Novel of the Conquest of Mexico

The sequel to Skull Rack (Oct. 2007), Hummingbird God continues the tale of Rodrigo de la Pena and Enrique Mendoza, two men of God reliving some of the worst atrocities in history. The story of the conquest of Mexico resumes with de la Pena, the Spanish Inquisitor-General, describing the first meeting of Cortes and Moctecuzoma. De la Pena has captured Mendoza, a Jesuit historian, to force him to retell history, so that the noble conquest of Mexico will forever be remembered exactly as he commands.
