Rimac: A Story of Inca Revenge is an action packed historical fiction novel that takes place in the year 1542 AD. It is a story of a tribe's desperate struggle to survive against overwhelming odds. The Spanish conquistadors conquered the Inca Empire almost ten years previously, and the Spanish have been systematically destroying the remains of this once great empire. Driven by an excessive lust for treasure with a total disregard for humanity, they raped and pillaged the land for years. Hundreds of thousands of people died in the Spanish gold and silver mines, and countless others were murdered as the Spanish greed ran unchecked in South America for many years. After they looted most of the wealth of the empire, the conquistadors now have their sights set on Rimac's tribe. His tribe lives in an isolated valley that has a gold mine that has produced for many years. In addition to the Spanish threat, another nati ve tribe that were enemies long before the Spanish arrived want to take captives from his tribe to sell to the slave traders. Against the background of this struggle for survival, a newly arrived Spanish conquistador seeks to stop the Viceroy of Peru's evil treatment of the local inhabitants. As he flees for his life, both the Spanish and the local tribes hunt for him.
Rich in characters and adventure, this sweeping novel will keep you on the edge of your seat.
