Publisher's summary

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.

Hard to follow

Unfortunately I will have to give this book a poor grade! I found it hard to follow, very fragmented with a lot of rambling dialogue.

no way can you catch a storyline that is jumping..

no chapter blends. it jumps from one subject to another entirely different to the other. might be a good book to read, but an audible must have continuity.
when you are driving it isn't the same as sitting and listening. I didn't like it at all because I didn't understand the storyline. The first chapter was good and should have set the basis, but it wobbled.
