Book description
From Dustin Thomason, co-author of bestselling phenomenon The Rule
of Four, 12-21 is an edge-of-your-seat novel charting a
heroic race to save the world. And as the fateful date approaches,
12-21 is the novel all readers will be talking about.
An ancient prophecy foretells that the world will end on 21
December 2012 . . .
In Central America, a treasure hunter discovers a Maya relic - a
mysterious and ornate codex - but when he smuggles it into the US, he
brings with him an old and deadly secret . . .
Early in December 2012, the codex comes to Chel Manu, a Maya world
authority. She is torn between the chance to translate the codex
herself and her duty to alert the authorities. Meanwhile, in an LA
hospital, an unknown man is dying of a rare, contagious disease. When
Dr Gabriel Stanton is called in, he realises that this is no ordinary
infection - and it will spread uncontrollably.
Stanton and Chel must race to decipher the codex's secrets and
prevent the prophesied apocalypse . . .
12-21 is a thrilling debut, marking the arrival of Dustin
Thomason as a major solo talent.
