Chasing the Long Count

by Michael King

Treasure hunters in the cloud forests of Southern Mexico begin a quest to find the birthplace of the Maya calendar and prevent the end of the ancient Long Count from causing geomagnetic devastation on the planet.
But someone wants the countdown to end. Someone wants the doomsday prophesies to occur. Someone wants the treasure hunters to fail, at any cost.

About the author

Michael King was one of New Zealand's leading historians and biographers. In 2006 he was named one of 100 most important New Zealanders that have ever lived. He published more than 34 books in his lifetime. His last, The Penguin History of New Zealand, has sold more than 200,000 copies and is widely considered to be the definitive history of New Zealand. His work in literary biography - most notably Wrestling With the Angel, on the life of Janet Frame - also received great critical acclaim. He made many level-headed contributions to race-relations debates and is sorely missed by his country.
