Bookreview: The Serpent and the Eagle

"Wonderful historical fiction"  


Summary

Tenochtitlan, 1519, pale -skinned people have arrived on the coast of
One World. They hail from a far away land called Spain and fight for
the mysterious Hernando Cortés. To confront Cortés' army would be
dangerous, but inaction may be even more dangerous. 

The Mexica are the most powerful people in all the One World and
regard the uncouth interlopers with a mixture of curiosity and 
distrust....






My Review

History, especially royal history, always has fascinated me.
This book is about the Spanish conquest of native Mexica, mostly
known as the Aztecs.

The writing of this book is clear, structured and the characters are
detailed as well. 

It also must be clear that the author knows a lot about this subject
which is interesting to read.

I would recommend this book to people who love historical fiction.
Therefore I would like to give a five star rating. 


The Author

College gave him the chance to combine his interest in history with his
passion for storytelling and he mainly writes historical fiction now.
