The Magnus Maximus Trilogy 2 Brent Reilly

BOOK 1: A new Hun leader leads a massive new army that threatens to collapse the Roman, Persian, Chinese, and Indian empires if Max cannot stop him. But he cannot do this alone. Max enlists his sons, who must face the Hun horde where tragedy often follows triumph. The family doesn't know if India's Gupta Empire is their friend or enemy while Little Max confronts an unknown empire in Mesoamerica whose bloodthirsty gods require human sacrifice. BOOK 2: The British enjoy a monopoly on the Americas, but exploration invites confrontation. Mayans, Mexica, Mixtecs, Mazatecs, Nahua, Toltecs, Totonacs, Tarascans, Zapotecs, Zacatecas, and Huaxtecas fight for dominance 1000 years before the Aztecs. Max must navigate hostile currents in an ancient land where bloodthirsty gods demand human sacrifice. As he divides and conquers, his enemies multiply. BOOK 3: Max must cripple the Totonac Empire, pacify the Huaxteca who hate him, crush the Chichimeca, befriend the Tarascan emperor, arm Jaguar Claw of the Mixteca, stop the Orinoco invasion of the Caribbean, remove the Guamares, find the Mexica, and profit off the Muisca of South America while starting the first port on the Pacific. But his biggest enemy comes from home, in an attempt to sideline him from history. Facing deportation, Max needs allies more than ever. The Maximus family must choose sides.
