It's the year 2011. According to the Mayan calendar, December 21, 2012, is the date for the end of civilization on Earth. And with the world in political and environmental crisis due to terrorism, war, and natural catastrophes, that date of doom seems more and more plausible. Trend analyst Tyler Moore has already had a taste of earthly devastation from the Southern California earthquake of 2010 that forced him to relocate his company to Arizona. But when his old college roommate, the current U.S. vice president, asks for his help in analyzing the credibility of the Mayan date, Tyler begins to realize just how fragile a grip humanity has on the world. With the help of ancient civilizations enthusiast Kate Ryan, Tyler plunges into a terrifying reality involving cataclysmic prophecies and international panic-a reality that could quite literally mean the end of the human race. www.authorjkscott.com
