- Summary:
- "El Inca Atahualpa, Señor del Principio, ha sido capturado por unos extraños barbudos que han llegado hasta Cajamarca montados en llamas gigantes y premunidos de mortales cilindros en los que habita Illapa, el dios del Trueno y el Relámpago. El Mundo de las Cuatro Direcciones se encuentra en peligro mortal. La misión de rescatar al Inca recae en Salango, un espía chanca del servicio secreto del incario, Contador-de-un-Vistazo, tejedor de quipus y protagonista de esta monumental novela. Pero sus casi mil páginas no se sostienen solo en esta única tarea, sino también en la minuciosa reconstrucción de una civilización portentosa y singular, la incaica, en que colisionan las lealtades y bullen la codicia, la traición y la ambición de poder." -- Page 4 of cover.
- "The Inca Atahualpa, Lord of the Principle, has been captured by some bearded strangers who have come to Cajamarca mounted on giant flames and armed with deadly cylinders inhabited by Illapa, the god of Thunder and Lightning. The World of the Four Directions is in mortal danger. The mission of rescuing the Inca falls to Salango, a Chanca spy from the Inca's secret service, Contador-de-un-Vista, quipus weaver and protagonist of this monumental novel. But the almost a thousand pages of it are not sustained only in this single task, but also in the meticulous reconstruction of a portentous and singular civilization, the Inca, in which loyalties collide and greed, betrayal and the ambition for power abound.
