Thoughts on 12.21

So according to the Mayan calendar we don't get Christmas this year (kidding!) Of course there are going to be multiple books on the subject, fiction and non. 12.21 is an interesting take. Thomason (co-author of The Rule of Four) has taken the end of the Maya civilization and used it as a catalyst for the predicted end of the world. Not the collapse itself but what caused it in the first place. He does a good job of re-creating an ancient Mayan civilization through the chapters in the Codex. The love story was a bit out of left field but the solution was plausible. Full review when the book comes out in August.
