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. The company sends Gretchen to follow up on a rumor of such an artifact on a world about to be torn apart by a revolution.
