If the end-of-the-world prophecy is true, a vengeful descendant will reign with blood and fury. The planets are already aligning.
For Jonathon Roth and his family, a vacation in Cozumel became a nightmare. Pawns in a deadly ritual, Roth and his children barely escaped with their lives, and with the secrets of mastermind Jacob Calakmul. Calakmul's endgame: to fulfil the Jaguar Prophecies-the foretelling of an inevitable Armageddon, one that will destroy entire nations. The key to stopping it is to retrieve an ancient codex-if Roth can decipher it.
From a museum in Dresden where the mysterious codex is on display to the Roths' Montana home in the dead of winter, no place is safe from Calakmul's reach. Obsessed with the legends of the magic of the Maya, Roth knows Calakmul's powers are real. Roth's own daughter possesses them too. As Calakmul and his henchmen close in, Roth and his children are running for their lives.
In a prepper's lair in the Montana mountains, Roth must piece together a terrifying puzzle to stop an apocalyptic vision from coming true. If it's not already too late. Because the countdown to the end-time has already begun.

I'm a fan of the author and have the first book, Doomsday Match so couldn't wait to find out what happens next. I've pre-ordered the final book, Final Strike so can't to wait to find out how everything's resolved. This picks up soon after the first book with Roth pretending to live his life under Calakmul's thumb but secretly plotting to bring him and his lethal games down. This is well-written and engrossing, an absorbing read. I had a great time with this book and would recommend it.
