Publisher's Synopsis
The ancient Mayans predicted the world will end in 2012. Now the fate of humankind is in the hands of two children, destined from the beginning of time to fight the powers of overwhelming evil. "A writer of Rees's calibre goes right in at the deep end. Mayan apocalypses are just the beginning ... the book also covers shamanism, suicide cults, pterosaurs, evil gods, busking on the tube and early 20th century adventurers.' The Guardian
