WAR GOD: RETURN OF THE PLUMED SERPENT
Book ID/图书代码： 12100015B79694
English Summary/英文概要： Graham Hancock, an expert in ancient civilisations and author of the 7 million selling Fingerprints of the Gods, and expert too, on the use of hallucinogens to achieve higher states of consciousness, brings these two interests together in the second volume of the War God trilogy.
The conquistador Hernán Cortés is dreaming of Tenochtitlan, the golden city of Aztecs. But in order to win the Aztecs’ gold, Cortés and his small force of just five hundred men will have to defeat the psychotic emperor Moctezuma and the armies of hundreds of thousands he commands.
Cortés expects that the warlike Tlascalans, hereditary enemies of the Aztecs, will join him, but instead finds himself locked in a deadly struggle. Even as Cortés risks all in the bloody campaign against the Tlascalans, he plays mind games with Moctezuma, aiming to dismantle the Aztec emperor’s confidence and defeat him psychologically before ever having to face him on the battlefield.
In this he is aided by his lover Malinal, a beautiful Mayan princess. It is from Malinal that Cortés learns of the myth of Quetzalcoatl, ’The Plumed Serpent’. She shows him how to exploit the prophecy of the fabled god king’s return to weaken Moctezuma’s resolve and keep alive the suspicion that the conquistador might actually be Quetzalcoatl himself.
Meanwhile Malinal’s friend, the witch Tozi, wages a supernatural war of her own against Hummingbird, the terrifying demon the Aztecs worship as a god, and against the evil sorcerer Acopol who does his bidding.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 西班牙军事家、征服者埃尔南•科尔特斯(Hernán Cortés)②梦想着特诺奇提特兰(墨西哥古都)，阿兹特克人的黄金之城。但为了赢得阿兹特克人③的金子，科尔特斯和他的500人的小部队将不得不击败精神病皇帝特祖马一世和他指挥的数十万军队。
科尔特斯希望好战的特拉斯卡兰人的世袭宿敌能加入他，但却发现自己陷入了一场致命的斗争中。尽管科尔特斯冒着危险在与特拉斯卡兰人的血腥战役中，但他还是与莫特祖玛玩心理游戏，目的是摧毁阿兹特克皇帝的信心，在他上战场之前在心理上击败他。
在这方面，他得到了他的情人马丽娜尔的帮助，马丽娜尔是一位美丽的玛雅公主。科尔特斯正是从马利纳尔了解到风神蛇神的神话，“羽蛇”。她向他展示了如何利用传说中的神王归来的预言来削弱莫克提祖玛的决心，并让人们继续怀疑征服者可能就是风神蛇翼王本人。
同时，马丽娜尔的朋友，女巫托奇，与‘蜂鸟’，阿兹特克人崇拜为神的可怕的恶魔，和执行他命令的邪恶巫师阿克波尔进行了一场超自然的战争。(Sandy)
Awards/获奖情况： like Graham Handcock’s novels because he goes against the grain and he’s his own man. What I mean is he’s not afraid to write bloody, and here he’s written a bloody good novel, and he’s seen the other world and he doesn’t buy into the beautiful savage idea, the idea Terence rammed down our throats,’Just because there wear penis shields, doesn’t mean they were experts’! (McKenna) They were blood soaked like the rest of the bi-peds on Earth.
About the Author/作者介绍： 格雷厄姆•汉考克创造一个令人振奋的和嗜血的全景。这些强大的权力冲突被生动地带进了生活，就像这些故事，普普通通的男人和女人被争斗耗尽了生命。
Graham Hancock creates an exhilarating and blood-thirsty panorama. The clash of these mighty powers is brought vividly to life, as are the stories of those ordinary men and women whose lives were consumed by the struggle.
