Aztec Century

Aztec Century

"Aztec Century" (ISBN 0-575-05712-2) is a novel by Christopher Evans. First published in 1993 by Victor Gollancz, this is an alternate history novel, in which the Aztec Empire conquers Britain. In this world, Cortez changed sides at the onset of the Conquistador era in the early sixteenth century, leading to the repulsion of Spanish invasion and occupation of Central America. Due to fortuitously strong central leadership, the Aztec Empire has become a technologically sophisticated global power in this alternate twentieth century.
