FALL OF THE EMPIREI'm confident that the original chronicle of the fall of the Tepanec Empire read like instructions to assemble a toaster oven.  Quite simple and probably as dry as the toast I mentioned.Now here comes author,  Zoe Saadia .  Bing, bang, walla, walla, boom!  Same facts but what a spin.  Her fictional story is intertwined with several of her characters from previous novels.  However, they are re-developed in a most interesting manner.  This is not a sequel.  This is a standalone novel written from the point of view of the losers; the Tepanec people.  Ms Saadia's style is reminiscent of Terry C Johnson, the author of all the plains tribes and the mountain men best sellers of yesteryear.I certainly enjoyed this novel.  The pace of the story keeps one turning pages.  It absolutely rates five stars.
