As the winter solstice of 2012 approaches (the day of reckoning prophesied by the myths of the Kukulcan Pyramid at Chichen Itza), Mick enlists Dominique in his effort to save mankind from the apocalypse. Engineering his escape from the hospital, she accompanies him on a desperate search to find his way into the pyramid before the radio message from space, which has already activated a deadly alien weapon buried deep in the Gulf of Mexico, can open a galactic gateway to a world where evil will reign for all eternity. Alten's talent for pacing far outstrips his other writerly gifts. The political subplot is ludicrous, the special effects way over the top, and the villain-in-chief, who happens to be named Borgia, is merely a cartoon. But the story is original enough to pass muster and the past success of similar apocalyptic thrillers bodes well for this one. --Jane Adams
The story begins 65 million years ago, with the asteroid impact off the Yucatan Peninsula that destroyed the dinosaurs. Only the object wasn't an asteroid...
Before his death, archaeologist Julius Gabriel discovered that the Great Pyramid of Giza, Stonehenge, the Drawings of Nazca, and the Kukulcan Pyramid in Chichen Itza are all pieces of an ancient puzzle left to us by another culture, WARNING us about the 2012 winter solstice. Now it is up to Julius's son, Michael, to save humanity. Slight problem: Mick is locked up in a mental asylum in Miami.
Miami: 2012
As it has done for 1,000 years, a serpent's shadow appears on the northern balustrade of the Kukulcan Pyramid in Chichen Itza. It is man's FINAL warning, The Beginning of the End.For you MEGALODON fans, surf the site and you'll find exclusive photos of a "real" 70-foot, 60,000 pound Great White Shark rumored to have been caught years ago.
