Die sanften Farben und die subtilen Nuancen der Haut schaffen eine warme und einladende Atmosphäre. Die Ölmaltechnik ermöglicht es, die Details des Gesichts mit bemerkenswerter Präzision wiederzugeben, während der verschwommene Hintergrund das Hauptmotiv hervorhebt. Dieses Werk, voller Gelassenheit, lädt den Betrachter ein, über die Identität der Dame nachzudenken, und feiert gleichzeitig die weibliche Anmut.

Graham Hancock has woven a compelling tale of historical fiction that does not feel like history or fiction
Format: Kindle
This has been a relentless and compelling read from page one and comes from one of the most innovative thinkers of our time. Graham Hancock has woven a compelling tale of historical fiction that does not feel like history or fiction. Its characters are real and relatable for their humanity, their virtues, their vices, and their corruption. I especially enjoy his characterization of Montezuma and Cortes, two iconic characters from the pages of history who become living, breathing, understandable humans for the readers. The supernatural elements of the story are undeniably present, but they are handled in a way that blends into the tapestry of the story rather than as silly plot devices. Also, those same supernatural elements help throw into sharper relief the unimaginable brutality and horror of which both of these great civilizations on a collision course were capable. The violence is brutal and horrific, no doubt, but for me the gentleness and humanity of the author in describing it softens its impact. Also, even though the book ventures into some very dark, cruel times in human history, the goodness and humanity of many of the characters prevents the story from becoming a tale of despair or hopelessness. I am a fan of Graham Hancock's non-fiction work, and this book firmly cements him as a fiction author I will be revisiting. Superb!

Cortes sails out of Cuba with a few hundred men under bad circumstances. He brings a priest along who rapes ...
Format: Paperback
Graham Hancock's War God is a novel about Cortes, the Spanish conquistador, taking over Central America in the 16th century. Although fiction, the author tells most of the story through the eyes of the Mexicas, Aztecs, Mayans, and Tlascans in the 1520s.
The book begins with Montezuma tripping out on mushrooms, praying to the god Hummingbird, and sacrificing thousands of people on his pyramid. He is preparing for the return of Quetzalcoatl and wants to be ready. Two of the main characters, Malinal and Tozi, escape to influence history.
Cortes sails out of Cuba with a few hundred men under bad circumstances. He brings a priest along who rapes and murders children. Other generals and captains help him first take over Ponchantan by using cannons and guns which the Mayans believe are supernatural powers. They defeat tens of thousands of people with advanced weaponry. Disappointed the city doesn't have much gold, they loot nearby towns and come up with almost nothing. They find their way to Tenochtitlan and take over instantly. Montezuma believes Cortes is Quetzalcoatl, the plumed serpent god, and doesn't even put up a fight.
My Review: I bought this book because I like Graham Hancock's work on aliens and Ancient Aliens. I thought the story would have more of a supernatural twist. Tozi, one of the supporting characters, could turn invisible, but that was the extent of magic. The book fits in better with historical fiction.
The story was an amazing epic. Hancock researched every angle possible, and put it into a highly entertaining story while teaching the reader about Central American history.
I really loved the character of Malinal, a young woman forced into being a sex slave. Tozi the teenage witch was also interesting as she escaped from the sacrifice of Montezuma. Cortes was portrayed as a thoughtful leader who sought new lands and gold.
I really enjoyed the book, but I do have one criticism. Hancock can get very wordy per my reading tastes, especially in battle scenes. Otherwise, this was a terrific read for anyone who loves history.
4.5/5 Stars

Hancock continues his exploration of good and evil -- Spoiler alert!
Format: Paperback
In this his second historical novel Graham Hancock continues his epic saga of good and evil, ancient civilizations, religions, the paranormal, and more. His recounting here of the warfare and perversity in the time of Cortes and Moctezuma is unflinching. One wonders at times what holds him in balance against the madness and carnage he depicts. There are romantic elements in the story, and a great innocence presented in the points of view of several young people of the time, and even in the personality of Cortes there are winsome elements presented, of which he must have held several in order to have become the inspired leader he became.
One fascination I found is the possibility that the evil demon god of the Mexicas (popularly but inaccurately known by most as the Aztecs), Hummingbird (I won't attempt the Mexica spelling here!) may simply have been another face of the Christian god Peter, not the Peter of the New Testament but the later Peter of the Inquisition and the New World conquest. And what is this demon god up to today?
I have been unable to find an update as to when Part Two of this story may be published. It does seem that GH, from a perusal of his fascinating Facebook page (see Author.GrahamHancock) has been working on it. For me it almost seems Part One is sufficient. I can fill in the outlines and projections from my own imagination.
But this book is a splendid attempt at finding a mass audience, toward gaining a readership of awakening souls to help renovate our present day logjam and remove the Moctezuma's of our time. But will we, as Cortez, find ourselves unable to truly create something better? For interested readers I recommend several writers -- Jim Marrs on the Nazis' continuation after WWII, also his "Alien Agenda," David Wilcock's (a good friend and interviewer of GH) and Wes Penre's works, much of which are free online. The only real revolution is in the human heart.

Not for the squeamish...
Format: Kindle
Let me start by saying that I'm a big fan of Mr Hancock's previous books,. I have purchased and five-starred most of them. His books are well researched, well written,lucid, and a pleasure to read. Also let me freely confess that I'm a total wimp when it comes to blood-letting, have been known to faint at the sight of blood. (delicate female here, LOL!) Anyways, while I'm sure that this book is, like all of his others, well written and interesting, I just couldn't get past the gore. Sorry, Graham -- not your fault, it's my own weakness. I really struggle with the star-rating thing here. Since the weakness is mine, and I know he's such a good writer, I'll do four stars instead of three or five -- that seems like a reasonable compromise. Hopefully he'll write another series in future that stars the good "gods" instead of the bad ones.

Graham Hancock has done it! He has mastered non-fiction AND fiction!
Format: Kindle
Oh, oh, oh this is such a good book! I love Graham Hancock's non-fiction books to begin with, but this is exactly what I needed after the Game of Thrones series. After I was done, I made anyone I could read it. It was inthralling, brutal, bloody, heart wrenching and a page turner. I blew through this book and quickly ordered the second book. I love the mixture of a more fantasy style storyline and a bit of historical accuracy ( I'm not sure how much is based in fact, but I noted a few things that I have studied in the past) This is the kind of book that keeps you locked in page after page, making every chapter "the last chapter", until you realize you have read the book in 2 sittings. Love, love this book and it sequel, and can't wait for the third installment. ( I have recently purchased his second ( or first, as I am not sure which one came first) novel Entangled, and I am ecstatic to read and review that one as I hold out for the third installment of this series. While I love his non-fiction books, these are amazing, and I hope he continues writing fiction novels.
