The Visitor

“The Visitor,” the second book of the Aggran Chronicles blends science fiction and historical fiction as a humble hunter, Ngu, is shocked by the sudden appearance of a mysterious autonomous probe, Ilsa, from the impossibly advanced civilization of Aggra. Set in pre-classic Mesoamerica the Mayan and the god-like Aggran form a bond that elevates Ngu to prophetic status, triggering religious, political, and interplanetary consequences. The relationship between probe and human sparks local social upheaval, attracts extraterrestrial attention, and provokes violent opposition from rivals and warlike tribes.
