Prelude

Crashing the Aztex Party In The Yucatan

Note the POV, each chapter contains the observations of Irene or Tony. As the commander of the operation, Irene must report on the general course of events to the Prince. As the lowest-ranked trooper involved, Tony’s perspective reflect what he sees. The Prince is not “on camera” in this, for most of the operation he is at the resort for the law firm’s extended Labor Day social, keeping folks happy.

The story is nominated as “Non-Erotic.” There are naked men and women involved, but outside of the principals who retain an appropriate attitude there is only incidental reference to how they might be making friendly contact.

Torture and lethal actions will occur, but the story will not dwell on these. The purpose is simply to show how a substantial threat to the Prince’s people was neutralized.

I suggest that the chapters with Tony’s viewpoint (1, 5, 7, 11, and 13) will be the most interesting.
