This ebundle of the Aztec series includes: Aztec, Aztec Autumn, Aztec Blood, Aztec Rage, Aztec Fire, and Aztec Revenge. Gary Jennings’ Aztec series tells the extraordinary story of the last and greatest native civilization of North America. The series reveals the very depths of Aztec civilization and the history of Mexico—from the peak and feather-banner splendor of the Aztec Capital of Tenochtitlan to the arrival of Hernán Cortás and his conquistadores, and their destruction of the Aztec empire. Jennings traveled throughout Mexico and conducted extensive research in order to write this stunning series. Aztec — Told in the words of one of the most robust and memorable characters in modern fiction, the story of Mixtli-Dark Cloud is the story of the Aztecs themselves---a compelling, epic tale of heroic dignity and a colossal civilization's rise and fall. Aztec Autumn — The magnificent Aztec empire has fallen beneath the brutal heal of the Spaniards. But one proud Aztec, Tenamaxtli, refuses to bow to his despised conquerors. He dreams of restoring the lost glory of the Aztec empire, and recruits an army of rebels to mount an insurrection against the seemingly invincible power of mighty Spain. Tenamaxtli's courageous quest takes us through high adventure, passionate women, unlikely allies, bright hope, bitter tragedy, and the essence of 16th century Mexico. Aztec Blood — In this colorful and exciting era of swords and cloaks, upheaval and revolution, a young beggar boy, in whose blood runs that of both Spanish and Aztec royalty must claim his birthright. From the torrid streets of the City of the Dead along the Veracruz Coast to the ageless glory of Seville in Old Spain, Cristo the Bastardo connives fights, and loves as he seeks the truth—without knowing that he will be the founder of a proud new people. 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. 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. Zavala will be swept from glittering Mexico City to snake-and-croc infested jungles, to lost Mayan civilizations to the torture chambers of the Inquisition, to 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. Aztec Fire — Juan Rios comes from a long line of Aztec warriors. Slave to a Spanish gun-maker, he becomes the finest gunsmith and sharpshooter in colonial Mexico. But Juan has a secret life as the revolucion's #1 gun-runner. Juan falls for the beautiful Maria, a beautiful writer and fearless revolucionaria whose dream of freedom is a liability for them both. The hard-drinking, womanizing, con-man Luis becomes their last hope against the rack, the stake, and the blood-stained torture dungeons of the Inquisition. Aztec Revenge — Juan is a "mestizo," of mixed Spanish and Indio heritage, sure to be doomed to a short, violent life begging on the streets. But Juan has a special gift for handling horses and an ability to defend himself at a time when a man's best friends are his horse and his sword. Only El Mestizo, the half-caste son of the conqueror Cortés, knows that the blood of kings flows in the young beggar. After killing a man for beating a horse, Juan becomes a highwayman and horse thief before disguising himself as a wealthy caballero. Fighting, conniving, and loving in a colorful era of flashing swords and brave hearts, Juan must use all the tricks he learned as a beggar and a bandit to unlock the secret of his own heritage.

. Aztec legends warned of the fearsome return of a white, bearded god from across the seas who would destroy their civilization. This prediction came true with the arrival on American shores of Hernando Cortés. Leading a small band of ruthless, determined Spaniards, Cortés and hundreds of thousands of Indian allies marched into the Aztec capital city Tenochtitlan, and, after incredible adventures, finally laid waste to that metropolis and rebuilt it into modern-day Mexico City. This is the full, incredible-but-true story of how a few hundred Europeans overturned history. Important revelations in this book include: - That smallpox was brought to the Americas not by Europeans, but a Negro in Spanish service; and - That despite propaganda about "guns and steel," the Spaniards would not have succeeded in overthrowing the Aztec Empire had the surrounding Indian tribes, long victims of their cruel neighbors, not provided hundreds of thousands of warriors in the final sacking of Tenochtitlan. This is one of the most astonishing stories ever told from the era of European expansion into the New World. Cover image: Detail of the statue of Cortés at his birth town of Medellin, Spain.

The legend of the world's most notorious traveler's disease explained through serious history with a hilarious potty humor twist. Montezuma's revenge is more than just a legend; it's legendary for its stinky curse. Centuries after King Montezuma was defeated by Hern�n Cort�s and his Spanish army, a strange illness befalls legions of people arriving to his land. But this illness isn't anything ordinary. It leaves a putrid smell in the air and gassy people racing for el ba�o. It is a battle - a battle your butt won't win! This modern tale of Montezuma's revenge uses original Aztec artwork and includes an actual letter from Hern�n Cort�s to the King of Spain. Factual references weave ancient history into a contemporary context that is both humorous and historical. Vibrant drawings and lively prose teach young readers about Aztec education and society con un poco de espa�ol. That thunderous blast that can't be held back? Is it the Spanish troops in Tenochtitlan or the tacos in your tummy?
