A dazzling look at Mayan mythology incarnate from New York Times bestselling author Steve Alten
For two thousand years, the Mayan Calendar has prophesied the end of
mankind on a date equating to December 21st, 2012. As that day
approaches, greed, corruption, economic collapse, and violence seem to
be pushing our species to the predicted brink of disaster. But there is
another Doomsday threat looming in our near future, a very real threat
that can wipe-out not only humanity but our entire planet.
Phobos: Mayan Fear, Steve Alten’s third book in the Mayan Prophecy series, is a doomsday
rollercoaster ride of adventure that follows Immanuel Gabriel to the end of the world and back again for one last shot at salvation. During
Immanuel’s journey with his deceased grandfather, archaeologist Julius
Gabriel, Julius reveals everything the Mayans knew and feared — from the
secrets of creation that predate the Big Bang to the existence of
extraterrestrials that have come to Earth to save our species.
The universe is not what it seems, nor is human existence. The ticking
clock of physicality that begins at conception and terminates with our
final breath is neither the end nor the beginning, but an elaborate ruse constructed as a test.
We are failing miserably.
