description: "For the first fifty pages you'll swear that Harrison has been rummaging in an old trunk.Here's that tired old theme...the lost community of Aztecs who have been cut off in a hidden valley by a landslide centuries ago. Presently they will discover the outside world--our world. The stalwart Aztec maverick may even fall in love with a beautiful white explorer...Of course, any reader of Analog Magazine should know harry Harrison better than that. There are rumblings, even in the first chapters. The Aztecs are blond--that old Fair God bit again. Someone is feeding the vultures meat from an unspecified source. And surely we're not supposed to accept a snake-headed goddess? Trust Uncle Harry.On page 55, young Chimal follows the goddess through a secret door in the cliffs, with his whole tribe hunting him, &amp; the story turns inside out."--P. Schuyler Miller
