Aztlan: The Last Sun

by Michael Jan Friedman

Overview

It’s 2012. Maxtla Colhua is an Investigator for the Empire--an Aztec Empire that, having successfully repelled Hernan Cortes in 1603, stretches from one end of what we know as the Americas to the other. Now the Last Sun is upon Maxtla’s people, and someone has decided to punctuate it with a series of grisly murders reminiscent of the Aztecs’ pagan sacrifices in ancient times. Can Maxtla find the killer before his city is ripped apart and the Last Sun becomes the death knell for the Empire?
Aztan: The Last Sun is the first in a series of brand-new murder mysteries set in an exciting world that never was but could have been!

About the Author

Michael Jan Friedman is the author of nearly 70 books of
fiction and non-fiction, about half of them set somewhere
in the wilds of the Star Trek universe. His first book, The Hammer
and The Horn, was published by Questar, an imprint of Warner
Books, in 1985. In the next couple of years, he wrote The Seekers
and The Sword and The Fortress and The Fire, completing what
has come to be known as The Vidarsaga Trilogy, as well as the
freestanding novel The Glove of Maiden’s Hair.
In 1992 Friedman penned Reunion, the first Star Trek: The
Next Generation hardcover, which introduced the crew of the
Stargazer, Captain Jean-Luc Picard’s first command. Over the
years, the popularity of Reunion spawned a number of Stargazer
stories in both prose and comic book formats, including a sixnovel
original series.
Friedman has also written for the Aliens, Predator, Wolf Man,
Lois and Clark, DC Super Hero, Marvel Super Hero, and Wishbone
licensed book universes. Eleven of his book titles, including the
autobiography Hollywood Hulk Hogan and Ghost Hunting (written with SciFi’s Ghost Hunters), have appeared on the prestigious
New York Times primary bestseller list, and his novel adaptation
of the Batman & Robin movie was for a time the #1 bestselling
book in Poland (really).
Friedman has worked at one time or another in network
and cable television, radio, business magazines, and the comic
book industry, in the process producing scripts for nearly 180
comic stories. Among his comic book credits are the Darkstars
ongoing series from DC Comics, which he created with artist
Larry Stroman, and the Outlaws limited series, which he created
with artist Luke McDonnell, as well as tales of Superman,
Batman, Green Lantern, Flash, Fantastic Four, and the Silver
Surfer. He also co-wrote the story for the acclaimed secondseason
Star Trek: Voyager episode “Resistance,” which gueststarred
Joel Grey.
Friedman lives with his wife and two sons on Long Island,
where in his rapidly dwindling free time he enjoys running,
kayaking, and playing (what else?) single-wall handball.
