Just back from a month in the Yucatan and before I left picked up a couple of beach reads set in the local one was "Domain" and the other was "A Tourist in the Yucatan". If you LOVED Erich Von Daniken's "Chariots of the Gods," and believe in NASA moon-landing conspiracies, then Domain is a book for you.
If you are a skeptic who can suspend your disbelief and enjoy the ride of B-grade science fiction, you might also enjoy this book but don't expect much based on fact.

As basic entertainment it is comparable to an X files show this does ok. but there is not much in the way of facts here. sophomoric interpretations of archeological legends that were explained away ages ago are the underpinnings of a story that's rife with material filched from an undergraduate screenwriting class.
It's a comic book, which is ok as long as you don't expect more. But for God's sake, if you really want to believe that this thing is talking about SCIENCE, you might as well be a member of the Flat Earth Society. If you want to read a thriller set in the Yucatan check out James Brumfields "A Tourist in the Yucatan" Here the author nailed the settings and the science!

As a long time fan of Stave Alten's Meg series, I wasn't sure whether, I would enjoy this story of ancient Mayan mythology. I am happy to say that this book not only exceded my expectations, it left me wanting more.
Steve Alten has crafted a superb book, which is part fantasy, but also has a lot of factual text on Mayan mythologies, which he places in the book every other chapter in the form of a journal. He does this and still keeps the plot flying along at lightning pace.
Once picked up, you won't put it down.

Domain is the new book from the New York bestselling author Steve Alten. This book focuses on a 2,500 year old prophecy that states the world will end in 2012. This prophecy is being investigated by Proffesor Julius Gabriel. He believes that certain sites in the world including Stone henge The Great Pyramid of Giza and the giant desert drawings of the Nazca Plateau hold the key to the prophecy. This book is great and I am looking forward to the next in the series: Resurection. If you want a read that will keep you on the edge of your seats and keep your interest piqued, you want this book. I have just ordered my own copy and cant wait for it to arrive.

Gripping start but descends into something ridiculous!
As a fan of some of Steve Alten's other books (such as Meg and The Loch) I have to say I found this book quite disappointing. Read more

A compulsive read although a little disappointing
When I started reading this book I had no idea that it would be part of a series....and somehow I think that Steve Alten didn't know either. Read more
