Perhaps you've heard that the world is coming to an end on December 21, 2012. That's the basis for this novel, The Mayan Apocalypse, which explores why an oil company's CEO believes that there will be an apocalypse and what he is willing to sacrifice to be prepared.
The story has some romance between our hero, Andrew Morgan and Lisa Campbell, a Christian journalist. First slowed down by Andrew's grief over the loss of his beloved wife and son less than a year earlier. Then, caught at a impasse over the couple's differing religious beliefs for the latter part of the book, love does conquer.
The Mayan Apocalypse spans three years from the past to the future, taking us further in the story than I'd guessed the authors would.
Though I hate to admit it as a fiction pro, one of my favorite chapters was the information dump on the Mayan calendars, history, etc. when Lisa was forced to bring the new reporter at the paper up to speed. Kudos to the authors for thinking of those of us who don't know anything on the topic, but didn't want to stop in the middle of a good read for an Internet search.
