Book Description

Every nation awaits the Mayan prediction for the world's end. Odd happenings are being reported from across the globe; with creatures of myth and ancient deities returning to life. Leading the destructive forces is Loki, the Norse god of mischief, who would rule the world, or see it destroyed. The gods of long-forgotten civilizations walk the earth once more; Morrigan, Guan Gong, Amon Re, Humbaba and Thor among them. Signs point to an unseen Heavenly War being fought in another dimension, about to spill over into our dimension. There was also the Mayan calendar which ended on December 21, 2012. Two forces have been battling for millennia with the entire cosmos as their playing field, and humans are the unfortunate pawns in their "cosmic chess match..." Some experts believe, "Prophecies are being fulfilled..." In this new thriller by John Christian Hopkins, the novel begins with a reporter investigating a macabre murder at a secretive company that supposedly was one of the world's foremost leaders in paranormal happenings; but what Napoleon Marquard thought might be murder and embezzlement becomes something that he had trouble believing: mythological gods, goddesses and magical creatures from storybooks were seemingly coming to life; and led by Loki, the Norse god of mischief, some of the superpowered beings were bent on conquering the world....
