The Mayan Apocalypse
On the heels of Mark Hitchcock’s prophecy bestseller 2012, the Bible, and the End of the World comes a suspenseful novel (coauthored with bestselling novelist Alton Gansky) about the supposed expiration date of planet earth—December 21, 2012.
Andrew Morgan is a wealthy oil executive in search of the meaning of life. In his quest for answers he encounters the ancient Mayan predictions that the world will end in 2012. That the claims seem supported by math and astronomy drives him to check on them. Then he meets Lisa Campbell, an attractive Christian journalist also researching the Mayan calendar. When he learns that she is a Christian, he quickly dismisses what she has to say.
As the time draws closer to December 21, 2012, a meteorite impact in Arizona, a volcanic eruption, and the threat of an asteroid on a collision-course with earth escalate fears. Are these indicators of a global apocalypse? Will anyone survive? Does Lisa’s Christian faith have the answers after all? Or has fate destined everyone to a holocaust from which there is no escape?
“Does the world end in 2012? This is the book to read. Hitchcock
and Gansky have done their homework resulting in a fast
page-turner. How will it end? Can the rich and powerful escape?
Read the book to find out. I loved the book and found it extremely
interesting.”
—Noella Thomas
“This book has it all—romance, mystery, murder, faith, curiosity
about the end of times, and that never ending search for what's
important in life.”
—Ginny Dent Brant, author of Finding True Freedom
“I have just finished reading The Mayan
Apocalypse and have to say that it kept my attention from the
first page to the last. I appreciated the detail that went into
explaining the Mayan calendar and loved the story line. I would
look forward to more books by these two authors.”
—Nancy Wilkerson
“Mark Hitchcock has written numerous books on the subject of
Bible prophecy and is the author of 2012, the Bible,
and the End of the World. His knowledge joins forces with Alton
Gansky’s award-winning fiction skills to create an intriguing
novel.”
—Mary Hake
“The Mayan Apocalypse was also a great
introduction to all the hype and mystery surrounding 2012. I love
when an author makes learning fun by overlaying a great story over
well researched history. Hitchcock and Gansky provide a great
ending that makes you wonder—what will really happen just over two
years from now.”
—Dennis Brooke, author, speaker, and storyteller
“I will share and encourage others to read The
Mayan Apocalypse.”
—Tracy Snodgrass
“The twists and turns in this book had me gasping out loud, even
crying and cheering at times. Truly a spiritually fulfilling
read!”
—Avalon De Witt
