About this ebook
Once again, in this follow-up to Domain, Steve Alten has ingeniously woven the mysteries of the past into a gripping and unforgettable vision of the future.
Mayan legend tells of the Hero Twins, destined to confront the Lords of the Underworld and resue their long-lost father from the realm of darkness. Merely a two-thousand-year-old myth--or a prophecy of an apocalyptic battle for the soul of mankind?
On December 21, 2012, a date long foretold by the Mayan calendar, Michael Gabriel disappeared from the face of the Earth, after saving the entire planet from thermonuclear destruction. Less than a year later, his bereaved wife gave birth to twin sons, both possessed of extraordinary mental and physical gifts.
Are these at last the Hero Twins?
And yet, as crucial as the twins are, they are not unique. A third child was born on the same fateful day, blessed--or cursed--with the same superhuman talent and potential. Exposed to the uglier side of existence, Lilith will travel down a darker path that leads to eon-distant Xibalba--the Mayan version of hell. An epic battle of good versus evil will begin . . . and the final fate of the human race will be revealed.

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5I am always on the lookout for new Alten material and when I saw this I said to myself "Cool, a new Alten book!" As I started reading the description, I was thinking that this is awfully familiar, so I researched and lo and behold, this is not a new Alten book but a reprint of "Resurrection", the second book in the "Domain" trilogy. The original was printed by Forge books in 2006 and is still for sale from that publisher.
I love Steve Alten's "Meg" books, the giant, bigger than life shark, but this series should get less than one star if possible. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is a strange series. It's what the "Left Behind" people wish they could write like. It's pretty religious and science fiction, neither of which is especially appealing, but it is also a fresher take on the end of the world. However since the local library doesn't have book three, I think this is as far as I'll get.
