Author Michael Finney is releasing his first alternative history short story called “The Relic of the Aztecs” as an audiobook. The fictional work takes place in an alternative reality of North America.

In a world where two civilizations collide, the Aztec Empire is in turmoil as they face invasion from an advanced people. Their Emperor, Tzontettica Yaotl, has heard rumors about an artifact that may be their only chance to turn the tide of the impending battle, but its location is uncertain and it might be lost among the abandoned ruins of Coliniacahuitlco.

Facing insurmountable odds and potential annihilation, one man is chosen by the Emperor to embark on a dangerous mission. Can the chosen explorer return with the relic in time and preserve the empire?

Finney said, “This story was ripe for an audio treatment to bring the world to life. The release includes a narration-only read as well as a multivoiced rendition that includes sound effects and music. I enjoy creating work this way so that readers or listeners can come to the project from a variety of angles.”

Readers are transported into a vibrant world of alternative fictional history. This captivating tale weaves together elements of tradition and imagination, exploring themes of identity, community, and the power of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
