CIA agent Curtis O'Connor is tasked with eliminating Dr Aleta Weizman, a Guatemalan archaeologist - but is suspicious of the motives behind the orders, and becomes her protector instead, defying his bosses and enraging others in the process.
Why does Washington and Rome want to stop her from finding the artifacts that will reveal the warnings written by the Mayans in ancient times? What will it reveal about the alignment of the planets in the upcoming solstice? Will they find out in time?
This is a fast-paced adventure, and I enjoyed the read.

balthazarlawson's review against another edition

I didn't particularly enjoy this book as the story didn't make much sense. I can accept all the tomb raiding action but there are characters and events that just didn't make sense, such as the DDO at the CIA. He was just totally wrong and felt out of place.
One thing that really annoys me about novels when done badly is the time line. You never know if the the event that is happening is a day after the previous chapter or a week or month. Events need to flow in a reasonable time line and this is where this book failed. People seemed to move around very quickly without fitting into a neat time line. This book could have done with a good edit and most of it cut away. It seemed to be written as an epic family tale but failed because it was disjointed and just didn't make logical sense in so many places.
Confusing.
