Synopsis

A dazzling look at Mayan mythology incarnate from New York Times bestselling author Steve AltenFor 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-based Domain 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.

Book three, well yes of course I was hooked, I had to buy all three, and now it ends with to be continued! Took me forever to read, not that it was not good, (but it is not as good as the other two, but one has to read to the end) but because I lead a very busy life, and I was also off last month at......more

The second half of the book had an interesting spin. Overall I wouldn’t really recommend the series. Book 1 was cool, but it doesn’t really get better from there.......more

Third volume in his Mayan doomsday set - there is another book alluded to at the end of this one, so he's not done.
