Aztec Autumn

Aztec

De: Gary Jennings

Narrado por: David Dukes

This sequel to Aztec returns to the Mexico of the conquistador.

The young Aztec leader, Tenamáxtli, courageously refuses to bow to his foreign rulers, vowing revenge on the Spaniards who have conquered and destroyed his society. Driven to rebuild the Aztec Empire, Tenamáxtli secretly recruits an army to fight the seemingly invincible Spanish forces. His quest takes us through high adventure, passionate women, unlikely allies, bright hope, and bitter tragedy.

Guided by exhaustive research into practically every facet of life in 16th-century Mexico, Aztec Autumn vividly recreates a forgotten chapter of history after the Spanish Conquest and grants listeners insight into the ancient culture that still influences modern Mexico.

first book was better

struggle to finish it, storyline could of been better but chose to keep it easy

really enjoyed it

I read some negative reviews on here and was a little concerned. I read the first book twice and wanted to enjoy this one as well.
I thought it was excellent. I liked the reader, and the story. hopefully someone does the first book, I'd like to hear that.

Frustration of the indigenous people

Interesting story. A bit difficult to follow as far as the many indigenous peoples names, it became confusing. The story dragged in the beginning. I enjoyed the first book far more.

Not nearly as good as Aztec

I am a big Gary Jennings fan. Aztec and the Journeyer are 2 of my all time favorites. I just felt that this book fell short of getting you to identify with and connect with the characters. Maybe it was the difference, between the reading and listening, or even comparing it with Aztec, but I just didn’t really love this one. I still think that the creative writing was incredible and the way Gary brings images to life is great.

an interesting perspective

it was very interesting to have the story's main character speak from a native perspective

Bravo! Encore!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, Gary Jennings is a brilliant writer! I appreciate his rendition of Native Mexican History from the storied eyes of an indigenous character.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Vanessa, i won't spoil the story.

What about David Dukes’s performance did you like?

David Duke's Performance was a 10! Great narrator! Please do the complete Aztec series?

This is only the beginning

Where would this world be the white man never invaded the Americas where would we be

Aztec

This book wasn’t nearly as good as the first AZTEC book by Gary Jennings. Good but not great

Kept me on my toes

I wish it was longer. I love the description, it really makes you feel like you're there.

Well Done.

Good story but anticlimactic. Very well read and articulated langues. Left me hoping that there are follow up books.
