This is the Way the World Ends…
Sociologist Brent Michaels’ specialty is seeing order in the chaos of human interaction and he’s just been given the most important assignment of his life. Joining a special Pentagon unit headed by Colonel Jameson Richards, they have one goal: Uncover why the world is rushing toward doomsday.
It’s December 2012 and the world is approaching the brink of panic–the timing of which eerily coincides with the ending of the Mayan calendar. But, beneath the despair of fanatics and doomsayers, and amid a rising tide of both man-made and natural disasters, something far more dangerous emerges–someone is manipulating events, pulling strings, and only Michaels and the team have a chance at stopping the end of the world.
