For decades, Dec 21, 2012, is a touchstone for doomsayers worldwide. It's the date, they promise, when the ancient Maya calendar predicts the earth will end. In LA, two weeks before, all is calm. Dr. Gabriel Stanton calls for his usual day bike trip, drops off the dog along with his ex-wife, and heads to the laboratory where he studies incurable prion diseases for the CDC. His first phone call is from a medical center resident who has an urgent circumstance she considers he needs to see. Meanwhile, Chel Manu, a Guatemalan American researcher at the Getty Museum, is interrupted with a desperate, unwelcome visitor from the dark-colored market antiquities trade who thrusts a duffel carrier into her hands. By the finish of the day, Stanton, the most important expert on some of the rarest attacks in the world, is grappling with a patient whose every symptom confounds and terrifies him. And Chel, the brightest young celebrity in the field of Maya studies, has possession of an against the law artifact that has miraculously survived the hundreds of years intact: a invaluable codex from a lost city of her ancestors. This extraordinary record, written in technique with a royal scribe, seems to hold the answer to her life's work also to one of history's great riddles: why the Maya kingdoms vanished overnight. Suddenly it seems that our very own civilization might suffer this same destiny. With only days and nights remaining until Dec 21, 2012, Stanton and Chel must get together before time runs out.
