This is Chac-Mool, a mysterious figure of the ancient Mayan civilization (Classic period). He has nothing to do with Lore of the Underlings, except for maybe his cool name, but he’s an old pal here to help me announce that Chapter 2 is done and twice the fun of Chapter 1. We both hope you enjoy “Return of the Guard”!

And be sure to look for Chac-Mool’s latest diet and self-help guide, No Sacrifice — Heart-Healthy Snacks of the Gods, coming soon to a bookstore near you.
