In perhaps the most audacious military enterprise in the history of human conquest, Cortez, with only a few hundred men, conquered a civilization of tens of thousands. This is the story of an Englishman who boards a merchant ship destined for the New World, but a shipwreck strands him in Pre-Columbian Mexico, and Roger must find a way to avoid becoming one of the many human sacrifices offered to the Aztec gods. (15 hr 22 min)

I'm sorry but how can you read the ridiculously common name "Roger" and pronounce it "Roe-Gur"????

Great book, great narrator. Loved every page.
Hate to be unkind, but the SLC lady should find a new hobby.
Excellent story
