5 Reasons Why Readers Recommend This Book

Avid fans of my action adventure novel series have offered a variety of reasons for why they like my latest novel "The Lost Calendar of the Maya: The Return of Kukulkan". In case you have have not read it yet, here are the 5 top reasons readers recommend this book,listed  in no particular order.

1. 2012. This novel is set in the year 2012, and has as a backdrop the 2012 phenomenon regarding the Mayan calendar and the Mayan Prophecies. If you are curious about what 2012 is all about, this novel is a MUST READ!

2. Mexico. The setting for this movie is the Yucatan of Mexico. For readers who do not know the Yucatan, this book is a chance to get a feel for this area (where I lived for a year and a half while writing the book). For readers who already know the Yucatan, the book offers glimpses of places they are familiar with from their visits or from living there.

3. Intelligent female characters. Contrary to the genre of action adventure novels in general, this novel features intelligent, action-oriented female characters who often out-think the men. Two new female characters are introduced in this novel, who interact with two strong, established female characters already active in this novel series. The two new female characters have been well-received, although unfortunately, only one of them will be returning in future novels.

4. Well-researched. Little known facts about the Mayan calendar, other calendars worldwide, the Mayan Prophecies, other ancient cultures of Mexico, the Cold War space program, the CIA in Europe, archaeological observatories, the threat to Earth from comets and meteors past and present and...whew, the international antiquities black market funding of terrorist groups: it's all here.

5. Good Clean Reading. In an age when everything we read seems to be taken to the lowest level possible, the plot and characters of this novel and the others in The Martin Culver Series are driven by the values of friendship, family, doing the right thing, and the good guys still win. Mostly.

Why Should You Buy It?

Many readers are curious about 2012, but do not want to be disappointed by a book that insults their intelligence or disappoints with wild speculation. And there are plenty of those books out there.

Let me assure you that "The Lost Calendar of the Maya - the Return of Kukulkan" is not like those other books about 2012.

This novel is well researched; the plot lines have been developed from established facts and events that lend themselves, when combined, to an excellent fast-moving story that may challenge your current understandings of events related to everything from the Mayan 2012 prophecies, to archaeology,  astronomy, international relations and even to the the future of earth. I promise that if you are looking for an insightful action adventure, this book will not disappoint you.

Instead of relying on the December 21, 2012 Mayan Calendar countdown controversy as its main impetus, "The Lost Calendar of the Maya - the Return of Kukulkan" focuses on the Mayan Prophecies of Chilam Balam of Chumayel. These prophecies accurately predicted the arrival of the Spanish in the New World, but also have many cryptic and enigmatic messages regarding the future return of the Mayan god Kukulkan.

If you are considering reading "The Lost Calendar of the Maya - the Return of Kukulkan" I would encourage you that you are making a wise choice. I am not just saying this to sell books.  This story is well within the realm of possibility, and daily events world wide confirm its plotline.

Prepare to be thrilled and excited as you follow Martin Culver, John Robert Chartwell and the other characters you have come to enjoy from the Martin Culver Series in this exciting Mayan Adventure.
