Product Description:
December 21, 2012, may be one of the most watched dates in history. Every 26,000 years, Earth lines up with the exact center of our galaxy. At 11:11 on December 21, 2012, this event happens again, and the ancient Maya calculated that it would mark the end, not only of this age, but of human consciousness as we know it. But what will actually happen? The end of the world? A new age for mankind? Nothing? The last time this happened, Cro-Magnon man suddenly began creating great art in the caves of southern France, which to this day remains one of the most inexplicable changes in human history. Now Whitley Strieber explores 2012 in a towering work of fiction that will astound readers with its truly new insights and a riveting roller-coaster ride of a story. A mysterious alien presence unexpectedly bursts out of sacred sites all over the world and begins to rip human souls from their bodies, plunging the world into chaos it has never before known. Courage meets cowardice, loyalty meets betrayal as an entire world struggles to survive this incredible end-all war. Heroes emerge, villains reveal themselves, and in the end something completely new and unexpected happens that at once lifts the fictional characters into a new life, and sounds a haunting real-world warning for the future.

Yet another airport gift-shop purchase to while away a flight turned into a fun read. I won't re-hash the plot here, but it's more compelling and nuanced than some of the low star dis reviews give it credit.
Even though the baddies (and they're not all bad) are an evolved form of dinosaur from a parallel Earth ("seraphs" in their parlance, the legendary Biblical demons), this is NOT a "V" meets "Stargate" knock-off. The seraph are more to be pitied than hated, and there are some heroes ... Read More

For time untold people have wondered what waits beyond death. Do we simply cease to exist? All our experiences, our knowledge, hopes dreams, regrets, do they vanish into nothingness?
Or do we move on to another plane of existence?
We believe, right or wrong, that because we are self aware, that we can think and interact with the world and others, that we have an immortal soul.
Just what exactly is the soul anyhow? No one really can answer that. You ask a hundred ... Read More

Strieber was writing great fiction when probably many, including myself, weren't even a gleam in our daddy's eye yet.
I love this genre and have read all his old novels. In 2012 he flexes his muscles as a writer. I think perhaps he's too subtle and sophisticated for these doltish one star reviewers who have been reading pablum for too long.
Is it fantastic and does into even venture into "Magic-Realism" like Ray Bradbury? Absolutely!! That's what is so great about Strieber's skill and craft. ... Read More

I heartily agree with the other one-star reviews. This is one of the most ridiculous books I've read in a LONG time. I am not a fan of Ann Coulter, but I was astounded and insulted by the author's inclusion of her as a secret-spy denizen from hell -- as funny as that is, it has no place in a thriller like this... unless, of course, I missed something, and this is actually a comedy.

if you like a crazy book, which includes some interesting conjectures at things that could be somewhat true, you'll like this book for sure...all you people saying this book sucks, i gotta say you blow(balls)
