About this ebook
An Ancient Mayan Codex Holds the Key to Humanity's Survival in this Gripping Historical Thriller
In the scorching desert canyons of Mexico, a race against time unfolds as Rita Critchlow and Cooper Jones hunt for an ancient Mayan codex—the final 1000-year-old prophecy of the god-king, Quetzalcoatl. Simultaneously, 500 years in the past, Pacal, a young slave-scholar, embarks on the same perilous quest, knowing that the fate of the Aztec civilization hangs in the balance.
Montezuma's vast empire faces war, catastrophic drought, and the brutal sacrifices of death-cult priests. The arrival of red-bearded conquistadors, armed with powerful weapons and bearing devastating plagues, threatens to bring about the end of the Aztec world. Pacal must find the codex to save his people, while Rita and Cooper believe it holds the key to humanity's survival in their own time.
As they battle the unforgiving desert, drug-cartel warlords, and the relentless passage of time, the shocking similarities between Quetzalcoatl's prophecies and the Book of Revelation become increasingly apparent. Could they be one and the same? The countdown to crack the 2012 code is on, and the fate of the world hangs in the balance in 2012 Codex, a gripping historical thriller that spans centuries and cultures.
