A crime, perhaps the greatest in the history of humanity, is
unraveling the fabric of the web of life. In Southern California, a
corporate ladder-climber awakens in the middle of the night to find
himself standing naked in his backyard, thunderstruck by the images
flooding his mind. Compelled to write to make sense of what has
just happened, he is guided toward issues in the Arctic. The
feelings exploding through his heart and mind threaten to tear him
apart-his only relief is in writing them down. Fifteen hundred
miles away the nine-year-old daughter of illegal Mexican immigrants
is plagued by a series of cataclysmic visions about Arctic polar
bears. In Russell, Kansas, an aged Chinese woman is stunned by a
violent vision of a young girl and a man connected in the vast web
of life. The web has been disturbed by a crime of such proportions
that its perpetrators have the blood of nations on their hands. She
can only watch as the crime's rippling upheaval tears at life's
fabric, leaving the two strangers' lives shattered in its wake.
Their survival is entwined with the fate of us all. Will they make
it? Will we? So begins . . . a conspiracy of spirits.
Reviews on 2012 The Awakening are creating a stir: "Riveting...a
must..." - Midwest Book Review; "Best Fiction of the Year" -
Spiritual Enlightenment Magazine; "What a gift " - Deepak Chopra.
Famed actor, Holmes Osborne (The Box, ER, Boston Legal, The X
Files), wrote: 'With the suspense of a "Da Vinci Code," the
spiritual awareness of "The Secret," and the fearsome aspect of
Orwell's "1984,"' 2012 The Awakening will make a great film " A
global human awakening shakes the foundations of powers that have
ruled the world for eons. The heroes' struggle to envision a new
way of being will determine their survival. Can they? Can we? An
unlikely bookish heroine, a burnt out Naval Intelligence officer,
and a deadly covert operations professional's lives become entwined
in this spellbinding thriller - unraveling threads of the ancient
beginnings of human consciousness. Their struggle reflects that of
every human being on the planet today. Current global issues are
woven elegantly into a timeless saga that draws upon ancient texts
and human history, aboriginal, Eastern and Western religious
scriptures, and cutting edge scientific insights into the mechanism
of human consciousness. Blending history, science, socio-politics,
and transcendental spirituality, this cutting edge tale of vision
and intrigue will leave you breathless, riveted, and reeling. NY
Times best selling novelist, Steve Alten, wrote "2012 The Awakening
. . . should be required reading for everyone on Wall Street and
Capitol Hill." Yet what has captivated preview readers is '2012 The
Awakening's' broad vision of what may be possible for humanity - if
we choose that path. Former Time Magazine Person of the Year,
Coleen Rowley, called '2012 The Awakening' "visionary." Jill
Dutton, editor of Evolving Magazine, wrote, "Bill Douglas is a true
visionary."
