Atomik Aztek

Sesshu Foster

Alternate History

Believer Book Award 2005.

In the alternate universe of this glitteringly surreal novel, the Aztecs rule, having conquered the European invaders. Zenzontli, Keeper of the House of Darkness, is visited by visions of a parallel world run by the Europeans, where consumerism reigns supreme. Aztecs armed with automatic weapons, totemic powers, and blood sacrifice, conquer and colonise 1940s Europe. Atomik Aztex is a hilarious read, surprising and sometimes shocking. A potent concoction, with influences from graphic novels, along with Ishmael Reed's Mumbo Jumbo, the paranoia of Philip K. Dick and William Burroughs.
