"It was a bad action movie in literary form. Granted, it made it easy to read. Naked people, things blowing up, and gun fights will do that to a book...I also appreciated the few spanish words I learned for anatomy I never knew before...but it kind of gave me that same feeling I have when I stay up late and watch info-mercials. In the process, I'm entertained. Right after I'm done, I'm filled with regret for the time wasted."
"Although the author is listed as "Gary Jennings," he didn't write this book. The real authors are listed in tiny print at the bottom of the cover. Once this book got going, it really takes off. The main character, a revolutionary Aztec, is sold into slavery and escapes cannibals, pirates, and a sultan. A very fast read and a little-over-the-top, but that's part of its charm."
"This is a very good example that shows how "franchise" writing devolves in time to boring and lacking almost any of the entertainment value of the original(s).
Once upon a time Gary Jennings wrote a masterpiece called Aztec - he wrote 2 other superb historical novels Raptor and Journeyer but both fizzled a bit towards the end, while Aztec was pitch perfect end to end - and then after the mediocre Aztec Autumn that was somewhat of a coda to Aztec, the series moved centuries ahead in the historical timeline after Mr. Jennings death with 3 more novels based on his ideas, notes and unfinished writing.
The first 2 - Aztec Blood and Aztec Rage - were good to very good, keeping both the picaresque adventures that made Mr. Jennings such a pleasure to read, but also the dark, funny and action filled writing, sometimes over the top but still entertaining and worth reading, though already Aztec Rage was showing signs of franchise tiredness, but the powerful ending fully redeemed it.
Now comes the third posthumous franchise novel and this one while readable is quite boring and far, far away even from Aztec Rage, not to speak of the original Aztec or the pretty good Aztec Blood.
If you are a fan of the series pick a library copy but otherwise I would put a big avoid sign on this one."
