THE
INSURGENCE of CHAN SANTA CRUZ
THE BOOK of SCIENCE
Over
the first two decades of the 20th century, the only successful Native American
insurgence on the North American continent was waged in Mexico’s Yucatan. President Porfirio Diaz’s ambitious commissioning
of General Ignacio Bravo to seize and hold Chan Santa Cruz, capital of the
revolted Maya, succeeded… but the forces of occupation found themselves
surrounded by patient, implacable rebels and their equally implacable monte.
In
this fourth book (of 10), Captain Jose Macias… his term of enlistment
completed… returns to Merida to assist his father and brother in managing the
henequen estanción, which has fallen on hard
times. Refreshed by a visit to the
wonderful scientific exhibits at the American Fair in St. Louis, he proposes
marriage to Elena Villareal, but is betrayed by an unexpected competitor. Meanwhile, in Santa Cruz, General Bravo and
his dark right hand Huerta conspire to rid the
territory of his unwelcome competitor to the south.
