Quite an interesting sketch of how the Aztecs could have defeated the Spaniards, given some reorganization and new ideas. As fiction, it's not incompetent, but it's rather plodding; the writers were plainly more interested in the Aztec civilization and the alternative history than in the story. The hero had too many chances of being killed by one side or the other; his survival to the end of the book seems implausibly lucky.
