Nina Anderson had written an exciting book with a little bit of something for everyone - romance, suspense, interesting aviation facts,,it's a futuristic tale well worth reading. I couldn't put it down until I finished it!

The authors's experience as a real life Hawker pilot makes her main character, Kate very believable. I found the technical details of the airplane an her knowledge of flying in general fascinating.

It is an interesting look at the future with an exciting twist at the end making the reader long for a sequel!! Don't miss this one!

The ancient Mayans foretold of earth changes in the year 2012. There would be a decrease in the magnetic field that surrounds the planet and we would lose the protection from space energies. The result would be a demolecularization of the humanoid form. Earth would transform from the third-dimensional reality of space into the fourth-dimensional reality of time.

Kate was a pilot. Ian was a quantum computer engineer. They worked for the same conglomerate. It soon became apparent that PCC was taking Environmental Modification Techniques (ENMOD) to a whole new level. It looked as though "techno wars" would soon end and "mind wars" would begin.

*** The story is written in the first person view; however, "I" flips between Kate and Ian. At the beginning of each chapter time is spent trying to figure out if "I" was Kate or Ian narrating. As the reader, I began to dread the start of each chapter.

The plot is based on dangerous radio frequency technology that exists today. Since this is something that could possibly happen someday, the story takes on a more intense feel for the reader. I was amazed at some things the author mentioned in the book that I had never stopped and actually thought about before. It was wonderful! Aviators will enjoy the flying sections. The plane in the book is a Hawker 800. Those of us who are not trained to fly find ourselves a bit lost on much of the aviation jargons though. All-in-all, this is a great book that blends modern fiction, sci-fi, and just a bit of romance. ***

Much has been written about what may happen in 2012, this book brings that to us in a thought provoking, interesting way. The book was fast moving as well as informational. I especially enjoyed the parts that pertained to the flying. Having an interest in avaition, all the flying aspects of the story were true and factional as to what flying a Hawker is really like.

My son's interest in the fantasy/future link led me to reread many books with him including 20 Thousand Leagues under the Sea, 1984 and now 2012. Great!!!!Makes you think.
