Death is never far for Angry Wasp.
His daughter lost to slavers, his wife immersed in powerful sorcery and his nation embroiled in Montezuma’s bitter war and under threat of encroaching Spanish invasion, Angry Wasp faces the battle of a lifetime.
To regain his family, save his nation from extinction and protect his very soul from dangers far more perilous than he dares admit, there is only one possible solution: a dance with Death, to the haunting melody of hope and loss.
Power, tragedy, and betrayal weave a desperate song of reckless gambles to gain salvation, with every battle drawing Wasp deeper into life-threatening events and crucial choices. One wrong decision… and he loses it all.
FIVE DANCES WITH DEATH is a rare and compelling tale conjured from the magical realm of the Aztec Empire. Brilliantly researched, and a page-turner as good as any, Austin Briggs has proved himself to be a worthy master of the writer’s craft. I recommend this book highly, and regard it as a great achievement of historical fiction.When the music ceases and the dead are counted, will Angry Wasp hold the key to his daughter’s freedom? Or will he have led his proud nation to its ultimate collapse…

A fresh and welcome change. Fluent, warm, and engaging writing… draws the reader into Wasp’s heart from the moment the story opens.
