An ancient Mayan prophecy. A dangerous Nazi descendant. A passionate
archaeologist. And an aristocrat desperate for cash.
Mayan legends tell of a location where the secret to surviving the end
of the world may be found. One part of that legend is recorded on a
stone tablet in the dusty attic of Lord 'Ratty' Ballashiels' crumbling
manor. The other twin part disappeared from a Berlin museum when the
Nazis took power. When Ratty seems about to sell his tablet to the
adopted son of Josef Mengele, his friend, the archaeologist Ruby Towers,
is appalled.
Soon it is clear that more than archaeology is at stake. The quest to
rescue historic Central American artefacts becomes a race to prevent an
apocalyptic threat when Ruby discovers that the ancients have set in
motion something that will threaten the world today.
