Davies excels in three areas: his vivid descriptions of jungle and village life; his characterizations, especially of secondary characters such as Cuauhtemoc's friends and mentors; and his natural-sounding dialogue, perhaps the most difficult task for an aspiring author…an otherwise impressive first novel. -BlueInk Review This story takes place in the early 16th Century; a time when the world seemed to be expanding at an almost exponential rate. It occurs in South America in a land known as Maya: this is not a tale of what was, but rather, a story of what might have been if I had been in charge of that era. The main character, Cuauhtemoc, is born in a small village in the northwestern part of Maya: the story line follows his life from birth, through birdmanschool, where he learns to become a birdman and carry messages. The account unwinds, telling of his adventures, his fights with pirate raiders as well as some of his own people; and by the end of the book he is twelve years of age and is sent to the City of Emperors by the Commander of the soldier's garrison.

Autorenporträt
D L Davies is 3/4 Caucasian;1/4 American Indian, age 81 and holding; have quite a good memory; He actually remembers being inside his mother's womb as well as birth; not as a full-length movie but as a series of color snap-shots. Have always loved books; long before He could read. He loves to look at books and make-up stories to go along with the pictures. Once loved outdoors but the aging process has reduced that considerably. Have at least a dozen more stories in his head. Only time will tell if he gets them all told.
