And answers it with a resounding, 'Yes!" Written as visionary fiction, The Return of the Hummingbird Wizard is also the first book ever that has managed to take a profoundly effective course in spiritual awareness and play it off the insanity chic that has become Hollywood. As such, it brings its readers an extraordinary combination of biting social stire and life-affirming spititual lessons-taught by an angel in the character of a hummingbird- and weaves them into an often touching yet irreverently amusing book about the redemption of human spirit. Subtitled "An Angelic Encounter for Modern Times," The Return of the Hummingbird Wizard also raises this question: Can spiritual development be taught as a crash course, espe

The third volume in Gary Jennings' historical epic that began with the Aztec and Aztec Autumn. Now comes the thrilling Aztec Blood. In this colorful and exciting era of swords and cloaks, upheaval and revolution, a young beggar boy, in whose blood runs that of both Spanish and Aztec royalty must claim his birthright. From the torrid streets of the City of the Dead along the Veracruz Coast to the ageless glory of Seville in Old Spain, Cristo the Bastardo connives fights, and loves as he seeks the truth—without knowing that he will be the founder of a proud new people. As we follow the loves and adventures of Cristo and experience the colorful splendor and barbarism of the era, a vanished culture is brought back to life in all its magnificence. “This exotic, sensuous novel works on many levels. It is at once history, mystery, and a coming-of-age novel all permeated by the teeming world of seventeenth century Mexico as seen through the eyes of a teenage boy.” -- Library Journal At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
