Review: Different take on the 1212 angst
Rating: 5 out of 5

I read several books based on Mayan prophecy and theories both fictional explorations and speculative pseudo scientific essays about or around the subject. This book is probably the only one which would entertain me well after the magical dates of 12/12/2012 had already long passed. It combines science fiction with Archaeology along with equal measure of thriller and historical fiction. The characters are uniquely original and compelling. The knock I would have is a minor one. There is so much travel involved in the story that sometimes the geography itself dominates the narrative at the expense of moving the mystery forward. None-the-less, highly entertaining and thoughtfully educational reading.
