| As you
have read, Gary Jennings was known for his extensive research,
which often included rigorous and sometimes hazardous travels.
During the 12 years he lived in Mexico, he explored every
corner and amassed a wealth of information on its people.
During
the long period between AZTEC and AZTEC BLOOD, Gary retraced
the wanderings of Marco Polo for THE JOURNEYER, joined nine
different circuses for SPANGLE and roamed the Balkans before
writing RAPTOR. He also managed to get his favorite stories
on Crispin Mobey into a book.
At the
request of his publisher, he brought out his unused information
on Aztec and agreed to write "the rest of the story"…
a plan that was to include at least two books.
There
is "A NOTE TO THE READER" in the front of AZTEC
BLOOD
which states:
Gary
Jennings left behind a rich heritage of nov3el ideas and
historical fiction when he passed away in l999. Gary Jennings's
estate and his editor worked with a carefully selected writer
to organize and complete Gary Jennings'' ideas to create
this novel, inspired by his storytelling genius, in a manner
faithful to Jennings' style.
