Sometimes, the end of the world needs a little help.

By now, we all know the world didn't end in December 2012 as the ancient Maya predicted. What exactly could have happened? The answer to that is the tale of Simon Gray, a former soldier to whom the CIA makes an offer he can't refuse. And the tale of Guatemalan arms dealer Yum Cimil, a self proclaimed Mayan prince and Simon's former friend.

Simon knows all too well the damage Cimil is capable of. This time, it's stolen nukes and a presidential kidnapping. Decades earlier, it was more . . .personal. Now he'll get his chance for revenge, but stopping Cimil won't be enough. Homo sapiens isn't the only hominid with skin in this game, and Simon must prevent an attack that threatens the very existence of the human race.
