About This Item
Albuquerque, New Mexico, U.S.A.: Putun Press, 2001. First Ediiton . Hard Back. Near Fine/As New. 6 1/2" X 9 1/4. Zamora, Pat - Cover Art. 782 Pages. Attractive red faux leather boards with gold embossed lettering to spine and embossed decoration and lettering on front cover. This book relates the true adventures of two nearly forgotten characters of history who traveled parallel journeys of discovery in search of the mystery of the ancient Maya, journeys that lead to the enigmatic crystal skull. In 822A.D., the Mayan scribe Mac Chaanal puts down his writing tools and walks away from his home in the great city of Copan. Together with his protege, Ixchel, a Mayan priestess and descendent of a long line of shamanas, Mac Chaanal journeys through Acalan in search of answers to the Mayan prophecy and the Mayan Great Plan for survival. Herein lies an explanation to the great mystery of the Maya, why they consciously abandoned their majestic cities. Following a parallel path of adventure is a young British soldier of fortune, E A. Mitchell- Hedges. In 1913, just as war is about to break out in Europe, Mitchell-Hedges sets out on a mission for his two employers, British Naval Intelligence and William Randolph Hearst. Mitchell-Hedges enlists with Pancho Villa and becomes embroiled in the Mexican Revolution, the War of Witches, and the mystery of the Maya. Acalan is an epic historical novel, a thrilling true story of espionage and mythic adventure. Acalan is the first part of a trilogy, about how a society can formulate and execute a long range plan for survival. The story is set in both ancient times and the early 20th century. The characters are all real. Their story has been meticulously researched, the result of an incredible real life adventure.
