He's discovered what's left of the Preston Group, a convoy of settlers that vanished in the winter of 1856.

Miles from any kind of civilisation, they see the group of Native Americans also trapped nearby as their greatest threat. But they soon realise what true danger is. When a woman is found murdered, one of the Indian party struggles wounded back to camp, whispering of unspeakable evil as he dies. United by fear, the settlers and the Indians must protect themselves against whatever is lurking in the woods. But as suspicion and panic grow, perhaps their own terror will be just as dangerous. Or maybe, whatever's out there is worse than anything they can imagine.

Download or read book End of Time written by Adrian Geoffrey Gilbert and published by Mainstream Publishing Company. This book was released on 2006 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to the ancient Maya, the world as we know it will end on 22nd December, 2012. On that date, their calendar will click round to zero for the first time in over 5,000 years. They prophesised that this destruction will be preceded by a series of natural disasters, including earthquakes and floods. Does this sound familiar? What will this mean for us? Should we take seriously their claims that this will be a time of apocalyptic cataclysm? And, just how did the Maya, a clever but nonetheless Stone Age people, calculate the date of an astronomical event that would take place many millennia in the future? These are just some of the questions posed by Adrian Gilbert, co-author of the international bestseller "The Mayan Prophecies." In "The End of Time," he revisits the ancient archaeological sites of the Maya and makes astonishing new discoveries about their cosmology. He also makes use of modern computer technology to 'backtrack' the skies to the way they would have appeared in previous ages, which has resulted in some major findings concerning the astronomical significance of the Mayan calendar. This absorbing, thought-provoking book is enhanced by a number of illustrations and photographs to help explain the many theories and ideas conveyed in the text. And, in case, an apocalyptic event really is upon us, the author offers tips for survival.

Yet, Immanuel soon discovers, it also offers our only hope of salvation. Immanuel must travel through this wormhole and transport himself back to a time long before his birth - the year 1990.

Together, they must unearth the Mayan prophecy's final secret, that which holds the key to preserving all life. Only by doing so can Immanuel Gabriel fulfill his true destiny.
