Aquila Navarro

Aquila is a fictional character—a reclusive philosopher-theologian who figures prominently in Brad Fenichel's soon-to-be-released novel The After Effect.

In Curse of the Skunk People, Aquila is the fictitious "author" of the manuscript that was ultimately published in its present form by Brad Fenichel, in cooperation with the "translator" (again, fictitious) Desi Zavala García.

In fact, the last page of the book includes an "author bio" and "photograph" of Aquila, while the copyright page clearly states that he is a fictional character.


Desi Zavala García

Desi is another fictional character, whose adventures in Mexico are the basis of The After Effect (due out in 2025).  In that book, he encounters the elderly Aquila and receives his collection of manuscript "scrolls."

Desi is also the fictitious "translator" of Curse of the Skunk People, which was allegedly based on one of those scrolls.  Same as with Aquila, the copyright page clearly states that Desi is a fictional character.
