"For sheer drama, no age compares to the age of exploration, no explorers compare to the conquistadors and no conquistador compares to Hernan Cortes. In Buddy Levy's finely wrought and definitiveConquistador, the worlds of Cortes and Montezuma collide and come to life. Five hundred years after the conquest, the Cadillo and his prey have been made human. To readConquistadoris to see, hear and feel two cultures in a struggle to the death with nothing less than the fate of the western hemisphere at stake. Prodigiously researched and stirringly told,Conquistadoris a rarity: an invaluable history lesson that also happens to be a page-turning read."-Jeremy Schaap, best-selling author ofCinderella Man: James J. Braddock, Max Baer and the Greatest Upset in Boxing History,andTriumph: The Untold Story of Jesse Owens and Hitler's Olympics "Drawing heavily on both Spanish and Aztec sources….

Sent me a copy that is missing disc 2. The game is unplayable. Seller refuses to pay for return shipping so I have to get Ebay involved. Offers a 50% discount for a game I can't play because they only sent 1 disc. Terrible business very poor customer service. Would never buy from again and recommend everyone stays away from this seller.

I loved this comic when it first appeared and it still cracks me up. Time to untidy it to a new generation or two. This volume arrived fast and in great shape.
