Starting
with an account of Mayan Empire the novel piqued my interest from the very
first chapter. When Ana, a modern mathematician chances upon the concept of Mayan
time loop, she unknowingly embarks upon a journey that would take her on an
adventure of a lifetime. She has to face off forces she wouldn’t have imagined
going up against. Thankfully that’s where our hero makes his presence felt.
Together do they manage to solve the code, cross all the hurdles and finally
manage to change ‘destiny’. Read this book to find out…
The
premise of the storyline covering the last fifty seven hours before the date
turns 21-12-2012 is really interesting. With all the hype over the impending world’s
dooms day, the author has made very good use of the general population’s
fascination with the expiry date of a certain Mayan calendar. To be very frank,
at times I found it overwhelming to keep track of all the concepts, but then
that is because of my limited knowledge on this subject. Given the amount of
information crammed in this book, it would have been very easy to get confused,
but the author has managed to keep it interesting through a certain charm in
his writing. There is quite a bit of sexual content in it, so a fair warning! Though at times I found our protagonist larger than life and some
of his escapades bit unrealistic, I guess as a part fantasy / science fiction
the book is quite an enjoyable read.
The book
has action, adventure, romance fused with the essence of fantasy and science
fiction. Thus, it would attract a large section of the readers, but I would
recommend this book to matured readers with a knack for details and interest in science fiction.
