Overview
El Inca Atahualpa, Señor del Principio, ha sido capturado por unos extraños barbudos que han llegado hasta Cajamarca montados en llamas gigantes y premunidos de mortales cilindros en los que habita Illapa, el dios del Trueno y el Relámpago. El Mundo de las Cuatro Direcciones se encuentra en peligro mortal. La misión de rescatar al Inca recae en Salango, un espía chanca del servicio secreto del incario, Contador-de-un-Vistazo, tejedor de quipus y protagonista de esta monumental novela. Pero sus casi mil páginas no se sostienen solo en esta única tarea, sino también en la minuciosa reconstrucción de una civilización portentosa y singular, la incaica, en que colisionan las lealtades y bullen la codicia, la traición y la ambición de poder.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
A colossal historical novel that recreates the failed rescue attempt of the captured Inca Atahualpa combines strong historical documentation with dramatic fictional license.
The Inca Atahualpa, Lord of the Beginning, has been captured by bearded invaders who have arrived in Cajamarca mounted on giant llamas and armed with deadly metal cylinders inhabited by Illapa, the god of Thunder and Lightning. The World of the Four Directions is in mortal peril.
The mission to rescue the Inca falls to Salango, Counter-at-a-Glance, weaver of quipus and our protagonist, a Chanca spy from the Inca’s secret service.
Over a thousand pages, we not only see this task unfold, but we also witness the meticulous reconstruction of the Inca civilization, where loyalties collide and greed, betrayal, and the ambition for power abound.
