Non-linear book is non-linear, weaving between what may or may not be multiple narrators in multiple universes. However. The central universe is one where the Aztecs repelled the Conquistadores, and then moved to colonize Spain themselves. Most of the action is set during WWII, within various universes/timelines.
This isn't a happyshiny AU -- the (male, imperial) protagonist makes off-hand references to raping Spanish slaves in order to let off some steam, and does a lot of self-justifying talk that the Aztek are great because they're the ones with the guts to do the horrible things that someone's gotta to do.
That said, there's a lot of stuff I positively adore as it goes by.
