Scott Sigler:
I just finished Alone, and man, this trilogy was amazing. Hands down one of the best trilogies/books I've ever read. What was your inspiration for naming the Xolotol and the Ximbal? (Forgive my spelling.)
Scott Sigler
I'm so happy you enjoyed the trilogy. The naming nomenclature comes from the religion that began the mission in the first place. It ties into my Galactic Football League series and the larger Siglerverse, but I haven't revealed those connections yet. In short, a powerful person creates their own religion in order to amass wealth and power. Elements of that religion are drawn from ancient cultures, including Aztec and Mayan cultures.
