Mayan Interface (Paperback)

,
An ancient myth is happening right now, changing all who discover it. Near the end of the Terminal Classic Mayan period, a high priest commits a murder where a sacrifice is needed. The consequences of his deed will reach across worlds and ages. In our own time, Lydia Rosenstrom is a master translator working with an archeological team in Yucatan and on a virtual reality simulation of the ancient site. She is drawn into a dangerous convergence of realities. This tightly-woven tale blends mysticism, technology, archaeology, and authentic Mayan history. This is not a saga about supposed prophecies of the end of the world! it is instead an engrossing story of challenges, consciousness change, and transformation. Living Now Book Awards--Mayan Interface won the Silver Medal for Adventure Fiction! "Modern science and ancient magic take on new and exciting meanings." -- Fred Alan Wolf, physicist and author "A fascinating exploration into a mythic past and technological future."-- N. Katherine Hayles, Professor of Literature, Director of Graduate Studies, Duke University "The circular nature of time and the need for change are recurring themes in this well-researched novel" -- Sharon Sullivan Mujica, former Director, Yucatec Maya Program, UNC Chapel Hill and Duke University
