This book took me 1000 years ago into the heart the Mayan civilization to experience their culture and traditions. In a new world where humans were no longer the dominant race, the leader of a rebel group tried his best to fight against an alien force who wanted to conquer us. From the very first pages, the author throws us deep into the warfare and demonstrates how the weaker survived and the strong dominated in this new world order. I really enjoyed how Mr. Todd incorporates the real ancient Mayan traditions and customs into the plot and at the same time takes us into a futuristic society where our world is primitive yet able to overcome a more advanced civilization. What makes the story very realistic is the reference to Chichen Itza, an ancient Mayan settlement, and a special celebration that is still practiced in that location today. What a creative account of ancient civilization, warfare, and science!
