This is an enthralling story of adventure and mysticism set in an alternate universe. In this universe the Japanese were driven from their islands by Mongol invaders and landed in South America before the Spanish did in our universe. Now, somewhere about 2500 CE, Aztecs rule Earth with the Japanese as their second in command. Europeans are definately third class citzens. Our heroine, Gretchen, is an archologist who specializes in alien ruins. Her employer is a company on the lookout for artifacts from an alien civilization from a billion years ago which are all worth an unbelivable fortune. Gretchen is sent to find out what happened to an expedition in search of such artifacts. The expedition has failed to report on schedule, and the company is worried. Together with one of the fabled Aztec Judges. Gretchen finds that the expedition has inadvertantly triggered the beginning of a terrible catastrophe for the whole of mankind.
