When Roger Hankshaw boards the merchant ship Swan for a perilous journey to the New World, little does the young Englishman know what adventure awaits him. After a shipwreck strands him in Pre-Columbian Mexico, Roger must find a way to avoid becoming one of the many human sacrifices offered to the Aztec gods. Proving himself to be honorable and trustworthy, Roger builds enduring friendships with many of the natives. Later, when the Spanish noble and explorer Hernando Cortez arrives, Roger is placed in a difficult position. How can an Englishman explain his presence in Mexico? Cortez, with a military force intent on converting the heathen Aztecs, will also plunder their riches. Can Roger help his native friends survive the turmoil of the Spanish conquest of Mexico? [mehr]

A Dry Snow Had Fallen Steadily Throughout The Still Night, So That When A Cold, Upper Wind Cleared the Sky Gloriously In the Morning the Incongruous Indiana Town Shone In a White Harmony--Roof, Ledge, And Earth As Evenly Covered as By Moonlight. There Was No Thaw; Only Where The Line Of Factories Followed the Big Bend Of The Frozen River, Their Distant Chimneys Like Exclamation Points On A Blank Page, Was There A First Threat Against The Supreme Whiteness. The Wind Passed quickly And On High; The Shouting of The School-Children Had Ceased at Nine O'Clock With Pitiful Suddenness; No Sleigh-Bells Laughed out On The Air; And The Muffling of The Thoroughfares Wrought An Unaccustomed peace Like That Of Sunday. This Was The Phenomenon Which Afforded the Opening of The Morning debate Of The Sages In the Wide Windows Of The "National House." [mehr]
