Et les Aztèques dominent le Nouveau Monde. Dans les années 1960, Dan Beauchamps, jeune Anglais fougueux en quête de gloire et de reconnaissance, quitte l'Angleterre pour les Hespérides. Il s'embarque alors pour une extraordinaire aventure autour d'une planète devenue le miroir inversé de l'ordre mondial actuel.
