马伯庸
《殷商舰队玛雅征服史》
(2007)
Alternate history as comic novel. Ma Boyong imagines a meeting between exiled forces of the Shang Dynasty and pre-Columbian middle America.
The book originated online and is written in the same arch tone that Ma employs to great effect on his blog. He's also obviously a fan of Stephen Chow.
The book is lightweight and fun, but it'll probably grate on anyone familiar with the actual Mayan history (although it does acquit itself better than the other "China meets Maya" novel I read this year. That book, thankfully, remains unpublished).
