This work continues the vision Gary Jennings had in telling the entire history of Mexico through novels. "Aztec Autumn" takes us to a time one generation after the Conquest, when the magnificent Aztec empire has fallen beneath the brutal heel of the invading Spaniards. But one proud Aztec, Tenamaxtil, refuses to bow to the foreign conquerors - and secretly begins to recruit from among the struggling survivors of the Conquest, an army of insurrection. On his courageous quest he finds high adventure, passionate women, unlikely allies, bright hope, and bitter tragedy. Driven by his dream of restoring the lost glory of the Aztec empire he will come to threaten the seemingly invincible power of mighty Spain. Until now, Tenamaxtil's rebellion has been little remembered, perhaps because it shed no glory on the men who would write the history books, but on its outcome depended the future of all North America.

This sequel is nearly as good as Aztec.
The gimmick of finding unknown offspring to continue the story is a little much.

Gary's problem
The book, like its predecesor, is well written, documented and entertaining. One thing that I found distateful (as in the first book), was the repetitious incestual relationships and homosexual encounters. The book's historical background alone would've kept readers glued to the content, without having to add shock value to it.
