Cuauhtémoc

Book one; Descending Eagle, covers from his birth, through his first few years as a child, his flight down to the birdman's school where he learns to fly; his encounters with other peoples: some positive, some negative; his actions and reactions in each case. It ends p with his first battle with pirate raiders and his being sent to the City of Emperors with messages for the Emperor; it stops as he leaves the Commander. Is continued in "Cuauhtemoc: Descent of the Sun Priests."
