2012¿Es real la profecía maya del Apocalipsis? Desde hace dos mil años el calendario maya ha profetizado el fin de la humanidad en una fecha que corresponde al 21 de diciembre de 2012. Al aproximarse ese día, la codicia, la corrupción, el colapso económico y la violencia parecen dirigir a nuestra especie al presagiado desastre. Pero otra amenaza apocalíptica se cierne sobre nuestro futuro inmediato, una advertencia muy real que puede acabar no sólo con la humanidad, sino con el planeta entero.  El tercer libro de la saga de Steve Alten sobre la profecía maya es una montaña rusa apocalíptica de aventuras que sigue a Immanuel Gabriel, el héroe gemelo superviviente descrito en el Popol Vuh, hasta el fin del mundo y hacia un dramático encuentro con su difunto abuelo, el arqueólogo Julius Gabriel. En el proceso, Julius revela todo lo que los mayas sabían y temían: desde los secretos mismos de la Creación que antecede al Big Bang, hasta la existencia de extraterrestres que han venido a la Tierra para salvar a nuestra especie. El universo no es lo que parece, como tampoco lo es la existencia humana, y ese reloj en marcha que comienza en la concepción y termina con nuestro último aliento, no es ni el fin ni el principio, sino una compleja farsa diseñada para ponernos a prueba. Y el reloj ya está en marcha...

2020-2025

En los cinco años que duró la Gran Mortandad murieron millones de personas.

Durante ese periodo, cuando el mundo se convirtió en un lugar salvaje, escenario de una lucha a muerte por cualquier alimento, el joven Robert perdió a sus padres, asesinados en su propia casa. Desde entonces, ha sobrevivido solo, aislado.

El tiempo pasa y el gobierno aspira a restablecer la ley. Pretende crear un nuevo orden basado en el consumo racional de energía limpia. Las autoridades reclaman a Robert porque en su día participó en un proyecto revolucionario para obtener energía de la Luna. Ahora la necesitan para una misión en la Antártida, el único lugar con condiciones similares a las de una de las lunas de Júpiter: Europa. 

On 21 December 2012 the ancient Mayan calendar will complete its thirteenth cycle. Archaeologist Julius Gabriel dies certain of one fact: that, on this date, the human race will cease to exist.

Mankind''s salvation lies in a millennia-old code. Ancient legacies - from the pyramids of Mexico and Egypt to the Nazca desert drawings - are key to preventing the imminent global holocaust. Only Julius''s son, Michael Gabriel, can decipher this puzzle.

Michael is incapable of action, locked in an asylum where he has been wrongly incarcerated for the past eleven years. But now he has been assigned a new psychiatrist, Dominique Vazquez, upon whose actions the fate of the world will soon rest.

It is 2047: fourteen years since Jacob Gabriel descended into the Mayan netherworld, while his twin brother turned from their chosen path, opting to remain behind.

Immanuel Gabriel - still running from the forces that hunt his bloodline - believes his actions proved his role in the Mayan prophecy to be nothing but an ancient myth. Now, though, he will realize his mistake.

As the prophecy begins to repeat itself and mankind once again faces annihilation, Immanuel learns there was only ever one person with the power to end the cycle of destruction: himself.

From the bestselling author of the MEG series comes an action packed trilogy that takes place during the four-year gap between Meg (book 1) and The Trench (book 2). While the stories focus on Angel, the Megalodon pup that was captured at the end of book one, in Survival, Steve Alten delves into the major characters and the challenges they faced in being caretakers of the apex predator of all time.
