Night of Sorrows
The final book in the War God trilogy from internationally best-selling author Graham Hancock.
Night of Sorrows by Graham Hancock tells the gripping tale of Cortes and his small army of Conquistadors as they enter Tenochtitlan, the island city of the Aztecs, invited as guests by the psychotic emperor Moctezuma who intends to trap and kill them all.
In a stunning coup, Cortes acts first by taking the emperor hostage and ruling the Aztecs through him. It seems all of Mexico is about to fall into his hands until a report arrives from the coast detailing the arrival of a new force of Spaniards with more than three times his numbers, sent not to strengthen him but to attack him and wrest the conquest from his grasp.
Faced with the choice of abject surrender or war with fellow Spaniards, Cortes chooses war and marches out to do battle. However, by doing so, he fatally weakens his garrison in Tenochtitlan and throws open the doors of Hell.

About the Author
As East Africa correspondent of The Economist in the early eighties Graham Hancock began to write a series of highly acclaimed books on economics, politics and foreign aid. His life took a whole new turn when he became fascinated by rumours that the Ark of the Covenant is real artefact, hidden somewhere in northern Africa. The story of his detective work, tracking it down to its supposed final resting place became the international bestseller The Sign and the Seal (now in production as a feature film.) More bestsellers in the field of 'alternative history' followed, including Fingerprints of the Gods, Keeper of Genesis (the latter co-authored with Robert Bauval) and Heaven's Mirror. In Supernatural he described his experiences journeying to experiment with hallucinogenic drugs amongst tribes people for whom they represent a gateway into supernatural realms. His ideas on exploring new dimensions in consciousness became the subject of his controversial TED talks.
Graham Hancock's books have been translated into twenty-seven languages and have sold over nine million copies worldwide. His public lectures and broadcasts, including two major TV series for Channel 4, Quest for the Lost Civilisation, and Flooded Kingdoms of the Ice Age, have further established his reputation as an unconventional thinker who raises controversial questions about humanity's past.Also by Graham Hancock
