Tenochtitlan, 1519. Motecuhzoma, leader of the Mexica Confederacy, rules over the largest domain in all of Mesoamerica and has every expectation that his nation will continue to reign supreme... but the arrival of strange foreigners will test that confidence. Driven by God, gold, and glory, the uncouth interlopers are led by Hernando Cortes and command weapons that can shake the sky. They hail from a faraway land called Spain, and they may have sinister designs. Their disruptive presence demands a response, and the choice Motecuhzoma must make could elevate his nation to new heights or cause its ruin. Combining the superb research of the Moundville Duology with the gripping battles of the Conqueror Series, this award-winning novel draws upon modern scholarship to recount an event still unique today: the epic collision of two civilizations separated for millennia. Editorial Reviews "A captivating, well-plotted, bicultural dramatization of the months prior to Motecuhzoma's meeting with Cortés, deftly transporting the reader 500 years back into the eyes and intimate relationships of key participants--Mesoamerican and European, emperor and counselor, conqueror and slave." --Andrew Rowen, author of Encounters Unforeseen: 1492 Retold "The story weaves a rich tapestry of Spanish conquistadors and native Mexica--commonly known as the Aztecs--as well as the neighboring native tribes, that transports readers to the lush jungles and grand cities of pre-Hispanic Mexico. The writing is clear and easy to read, with just enough Spanish and Nahuatl to add deep flavors without slowing the pace." --Casey Robb, author of The Devil's Grip "The Serpent and the Eagle is expertly written and painstakingly researched.... Rickford has captured a fascinating historical moment and turned it into an absorbing story that makes the history come alive." --Jim White, author of Borders in Paradise "In The Serpent and the Eagle, Edward Rickford has achieved wonderful world-building/scene-setting to the extent that even if you aren't familiar with the history surrounding the novel, you can pick this book up and enjoy it regardless." --Aaron Booth, author of Life Eternal "The Serpent and the Eagle is another literary text that may offer the reader exits out of the colonial wound of indignity and entrances into the enunciative reclamation of silenced historical, social, and cultural spaces." --C.T. Mexica, Ph. D, Arizona State University "Told through multiple points of view, Rickford's words flow from the page like silk, engrossing the reader in insatiable Spanish hunger for gold and the anxiety Cortez's conquest brings to the native Mexica." --K.M. Pohlkamp, author of Apricots and Wolfsbane Winner of the 2017 Best in Category Prize in the 2017 Chaucer Book Awards for historical fiction.

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. Keen to discover their intentions, the Mexica send an official envoy to the coast. What they learn is most troubling. The Spanish possess weapons that have no equal... and they may have designs on Tenochtitlan. The conflict that follows will tear an entire region asunder and give birth to an empire of globe-spanning proportions.

'The Serpent And The Eagle' is an adventure surrounding the search to uncover the lost treasure of Moctezoma. The protagonists include a brilliant anthropologist, albeit an irreverent, iconoclastic, sardonic gadfly; a vicious, psychopathic billionaire; a corrupt Roman Catholic Cardinal who would seize the treasure for the Church and use it to turn Mexico into a rigid Catholic Theocracy. A woman scientist offers a steely challenge to our brainy anthropologist. Their relationship gradually evolves and becomes integral to our narrative. Juxtaposed with these characters is an ancient Azteca priesthood, still extant, who will go to any length to safeguard the treasure. These hold to the ways of the ancient Azteca, central to which is "the flowery death". Sacrificial victims' hearts are ripped out of their living flesh and are offered as a propitiation to Huitzilopochtli, the fearful God of War. Interspersed with the text is a corroborative element of rich, well researched historical detail. The pace never slackens. None will ever say that 'The Serpent And The Eagle' is boring.

'The Serpent, the Eagle, the Lion and the Disk' The preeminent symbols of the sacred in the ancient world. The Ancients associated these symbols with the Divine. Many theories have been developed regarding these symbols yet the mystery still remains. This is particularly true of the aniconic winged disk symbol. How and why does the same symbol have the same meaning to so many people of diverse cultures and civilizations? Was it the symbol of an all-conquering triumphalist Egyptian or Sumerian Empire or perhaps of a vanished race from beyond the stars? Or is it a representation of a universal transcendent experience? The pieces of this puzzle have long been scattered throughout history, hidden amongst the mystical traditions of the world. Unravel the truly astounding and majestic history of religion, civilization and God. This book represents a Startling Revelation and a Revolutionary New Look at the Origins of Humanity's Common Mystical Experience, its Religion, Culture and the Rise of Civilization.
