With a book about disease, the Mayans, and the end of the world I just could NOT pass this one up. I'm a sucker for a good conspiracy, legend, myth, tall tale, etc... Hell, one may even be able to convince me that Bigfoot shot JFK AND MLK from the same balcony in Dallas at the same time through a space-time wormhole or some shit. I love that kind of stuff. So, I just knew that 12.21 would be right up my proverbial alley.
Here's what happens in a nutshell...the only spoiler is this: the world is saved. There's a Dr. Stanton who is a big shot studying shit for the CDC that I don't understand (I hated science in school). There's an antiquities and Mayan expert chick named Chel, who is also of full blooded Mayan descent, who given a rare and awesome codex that warns of the coming end. Cool right? Anyway, these two connect because Stanton has found a disease that is really fucking things up and Chel has found out what can be done to stop it all. It's a meeting of the minds, etc...
Also, there is a time crunch because of the old end of the world 12.21.2012 thing that was happening at the time. In case you missed it: that date came and went and nothing ever happened. Just like Y2K. Remember that? Dumbest ass world wide freakout ever!
Oh yeah, the US government has basically sealed off southern California so no one can leave. This sucks because a cure can be found in the mountains of Guatemala. Guatemala is close to Cali but not "I'm gonna take a stroll on down to old Guatemala"-close.
In 12.21 the world is saved thanks to these two (and a couple others).
Overall, a fun book for sure. If you sit down and have nothing better to do, you could knock this thing out in half a day. In the end, reading this book won't make you feel like you wasted any time. It's better than many other things I have read recently.
Give it a shot. I never disappoint...do I?
