I thought the Aztec revivalists in the first book were pretty silly.

Yes, but not entirely implausible given human nature. Also there was a *The Tick* episode with Aztec revivalists IIRC.

I read the first book and the third book. Pepper wasn't my fave either, but there was so much interesting stuff in the books that I will look up his other stuff.

I couldn't get my head around them, either. Which was a shame, because there was a lot else I was enjoying; certainly enough that the second book has been sitting in the to-read pile.

I liked the Aztec revivalists. It worked for me in the context of different societies trying to recapture Earth as they remembered it.
