Graham Brown Knihy

Otázky o konci sveta sa objavovali od počiatku ľudstva a stále sú aktuálne. Graham Brown sa nimi zaoberá už vo svojom druhom napínavom románe, v ktorom sa v súvislosti s dátumom 21. december 2012 rozpúta zápas medzi tromi svetovými veľmocami – USA, Ruskom a Čínou. Pracovníčke Národného výskumného inštitútu Danielle Laidlawovej sa podarí v srdci Amazónie neuveriteľný objav – nájde priezračný mayský kameň vyžarujúci silné vlny energie. Kameň vysiela signál, ktorý smeruje k hraničnému dátumu. Niekde na svete podľa všetkého jestvujú ešte tri také kamene. Aká energia by sa uvoľnila, keby sa ocitli tieto štyri kamene pokope? Kto ich vytvoril – a kto ich má teraz? Danielle a jej tím sa riadia podľa tajuplnej mayskej mapy a podľa proroctva o zániku sveta. Nejde však o koniec sveta, ale o nový začiatok... Výskumníci si kladú otázky: Mali tieto artefakty slúžiť na našu záchranu – alebo nás mali navždy zničiť?

Pracovníčka vládnej organizácie Danielle Laidlawová vedie výpravu do hlbín Amazónie v úsilí nájsť legendárne mayské mesto. Na výprave ju sprevádza renomovaný univerzitný profesor a chráni ju žoldnier Hawker. Členovia výpravy nevedia, že pred nimi už bola v tých končinách iná výprava a zmizla z povrchu zemského. Nevedia ani to, že poklad, ktorý hľadajú, nie sú len mayské artefakty, ale môže ísť o fyzikálny objav, ktorý by mohol zmeniť svet. Skupinu sa pokúsi zlikvidovať nemilosrdný miliardár, no výhražné posolstvá im vysiela aj domorodý kmeň Chollokvanov a okrem toho ich prenasleduje skrytý nepriateľ, ktorý po sebe zanecháva roztrhané telá. Členovia skupiny sa zúfalo usilujú nájsť spojenie medzi smrteľnou realitou mayskej legendy, kmeňom nomádov a desivým tajomstvom pochovaným v starých ruinách. Nájdu práve oni dôkazy o tom, že starý mayský spis sa zakladal na pravde?
