Synopsis:
IT HAD LONG BEEN DEBATED THAT THE END OF DAYS FOR PLANET EARTH WAS SET IN CONCRETE AS DECEMBER 21, 2012. Mathematical savant Ana Christensen was merely following her instincts when working a theorem in a direction and style that could have never been accepted by traditional mathematicians. As a result she stumbled upon an ancient Mayan creation, a time loop beginning in 3114BC and ending on the long contested twenty first century date. In a dynamic race against time, Ana and her male compatriot battle the forces of individual evil, bureaucracy, paramilitary mercenaries, and most powerful of all…destiny.
 
My review:
First of all, I want to say thank God for the unnamed male protagonist or I would have been totally lost throughout most of the book.  The mathematical stuff was pretty difficult to understand, but since he wasn't a mathematical genius, the explanations for him were definitely welcomed by me!  But, don't let this deter you because this book was a wild ride!  The twists, turns and outright craziness of the plot kept me enthralled until the very last page.  It was very frustrating when I had to put it down to go to bed at night or make dinner for my family because I wanted to keep going to see what happened.  As a Christian, I know how the world is going to end and it's not because of the end of the Mayan calendar, but I will say that by the end of the book, there was that little thought in the back of my head wondering if this kind of thing could happen.  It's a scary thought! 
If you are into sci-fi and/or thrillers, I would definitely read this book.  The author's imagination is fantastic!
