A science fiction mystery full of action, adventure and romance.
Dr. Mark Turner, a scientist with a double Ph.D. in Oceanographic Seismology and Physics, will take you on this epic science fiction adventure. Will he make the ultimate sacrifice to save the world, or is it even possible?
While doing research on the unusual occurrences in the Bermuda Triangle, he will uncover something that the government is willing to kill for. Getting more than he bargained for, his discoveries will not only unlock the mysteries of the Devil’s Triangle, the Mayan doomsday predictions about the year 2012, and what happened to the lost city of Atlantis, and fall in love in the process.
Much of the story line has been taken from real science and terrifying real scientific research and discoveries and will keep you guessing on every page. Are we standing on the precipice of a disaster of our own making? The countdown to 2012 has begun.
Excerpt:
Deep below the Mississippi Valley, an even larger eddie spit out an electromagnetic ejection that traveled up through the channel between the highly magnetic, indigenous rock formations of the Reelfoot Rift, setting off an earthquake larger that the magnitude eight earthquake of 1812, whose violence shook against the solid bedrock all the way to the east coast. Blasts of sand blew up in great out gassings, like mud volcanoes and created a sudden dam on the Mississippi River causing it to run backwards before overflowing its banks. The electromagnetic energy surge passed through the atmosphere and out into space where it collided with the magnetic field of the incoming coronal mass. The resulting magnetic reconnection was so powerful that it created an electromagnetic pulse high above the atmosphere, pushing down on the magnetosphere, it traveled south towards the equator convulsing through land, air and sea, followed quickly by the mass of plasma itself.
Starvation, and disease were becoming the norm. Violence and anarchy reigned, while flies fed upon the bodies of the unburied dead. Everywhere was death, dying and sorrow. Earthquakes shook the ground with an ever increasing frequency, across the entire continent, making most of the large cities unsafe for human habitation. Constant, unseasonable storms of tremendous force plagued the homeless millions who had escaped alive.
The explosive impact of the asteroid into the water created a mega tsunami over 2,000 feet high that traveled out in every direction hitting all the surrounding coastlines, including Japan, North and South Korea, Russia and even some lower parts of China. It traveled inland more than 60 miles in some places with explosive force, and engulfed large parts of Japan while completely swallowing North and South Korea before receding. It hit flash-melted large quantities of methane hydrates that had been trapped in the fast ice of the sea floor. Bubbling to the surface, and into the atmosphere with eruptive force. The methane gas, mixed with the massive amounts of vaporized sea water, dramatically changed the atmospheric pressure and created a hurricane sized storm within hours. Nebulous, methane clouds circulated among those made of water vapor and passed over parts of Mainland China and Russia. Random bolts of lightning ignited fiery balls of flaming methane gas and acid rain poured down mixed with methane hailstones; ice that burned in the air and on the ground.
Time Storm 2012: Atlantis and the Mayan Prophecy
I found the story line refreshing with unexpected and novel ideas. The science was well researched making the story seem almost plausible in spite of it being fiction. The characters were real and compelling and blended well with the mixed in urban legend. The story line spanned over 10,000 years and had every kind of science you could imagine all blended into one cohesive story line. I loved it.

I enjoyed reading this book. I found it is easy to read and exciting. It did not take me long to enjoy my time with Mark, Ashlyn and Stewart. I wanted to be there with them and experience the Bermuda Triangle and the world under the sea. ….Great job….keep writing Juliann.

This book was awesome! I read it this weekend and couldn’t put it down. It kept me on the edge of my seat virtually the whole time…and had me guessing what would happen next. This book was refreshingly unexpected and very well written. The author really seemed to know what she was talking about…my advice, buy a copy for you and a friend.

I really enjoyed this book. It had an intriguing story line and an unusual emotional honesty about it. I couldn’t put it down and I like the fact that it was family friendly, I mean rated PG; you don’t find that very often anymore. The characters came alive and I found myself laughing and sometimes crying. I thought the dialogue was real; so many books sound phony. I also liked the fact that the characters had imperfections. Mark had his irritable moments and Ashlyn was insecure at times. My heart really went out for Stewart, poor guy. He was like the Timex watch “takes a licking and keeps on ticking.” I have always wanted to go diving and the underwater scenes made me feel like I was there. I’ve also been in the Bahamas and I thought the author did a good job of capturing the essence. The science was cool. I loved the way everything was intertwined and so much of it based on real science. The notes section in the back was compelling; it made me wonder if there really is something going to happen in 2012. The NASA reports and the Hutchison effect, I had never heard of it and I can’t believe that it hasn’t been more pronounced in the news. The fact that there have really been underwater pyramids discovered was news to me too. I think the author must have done a lot of research to put everything together that way. It’s complex enough to interest a scientist and yet she uses the characters to explain it in terms that people like me can understand. I wanted to give it five stars but I felt like the book was a little too short; I wanted more. I think the author could have added more details about some of the characters so I gave it four stars. In spite of that, I highly recommend it. The book was unusual and had unique twists and a refreshing storyline. I’m really looking forward to her next book, whatever it is.
