Inca : the scarlet fringe

In the 1500s, Spanish Conquistadores sought to subjugate the Incan Empire and loot it of its gold. Among the Incas facing them was Atahualpa -- Exemplary Fortune -- the self-assured (some would say arrogant) son of the Incan Emperor. It is Atahualpa's task to discover the purpose of the strange ship which has come to their shores, and uncover the threat posed by the invaders.

But there are other threats closer to home. Atahualpa's Incan enemies believe that the prince is an even greater danger to their civilization than the Spanish. They stand in the way of Atahualpa's plans to save the Inca from a barbarous nation with weapons more terrifying than either can imagine.

He will not cease in his quest to warn an unbelieving empire. If he fails, his civilization will be destroyed and the Inca bound into eternal servitude.

《书目》(Booklist)书评

Intrigued by what might have been, novelist Blom has penned a fictional alternate history of the conquest of the Inca Empire. When Atahualpa, son of the powerful Incan emperor, realizes the Spanish conquistadors intend to ravish and destroy his civilization, he attempts to launch a resistance designed to preserve his threatened nation. Unfortunately, factions within his own tribe are determined to discredit the haughty young prince. As Atahualpa works feverishly to save his people from the foreigners, he must also protect himself from jealous and shortsighted enemies. A vividly re-created historical adventure chock-full of colorful characters, unexpected plot twists, and authentic period detail. --Margaret Flanagan
