The Sixth World

"It was the kind of morning in Monterey, California, where the sea stretches out to meet the sky in a serene and endless grasp . . ."

When two California archaeologists discover Maya hieroglyphics during a routine expedition in the Central Valley hills, a gripping adventure begins, blending mystery, ancient culture, and history. The translated glyphs tell of the Maya staging an international comeback to oversee the new age in 2012, and the pair is caught in a race against time as they battle terrorists who threaten to destroy the Maya and the earth itself.
