Your friend Tom vanishes in Mexico while investigating the Mayan civilization's collapse. As you search, you're faced with a choice: travel back in time to the Mayan era or navigate the present's revolutionary turmoil. Trust is scarce—can you rely on Manuel, the local guide, or even your own instincts? With mysterious spacecraft and ancient rituals at play, every decision could lead to discovery or danger. Will you uncover the secrets of Chichén Itzá and find Tom, or become part of the mystery yourself? The choice is yours in this thrilling adventure.

From the publisher

THE GREAT MAYAN CIVILIZATION DISAPPEARED MORE THAN 800 YEARS AGO. COULD WE BE NEXT? Your friend Tom disappears on assignment in Mexico searching for clues to the sudden collapse of the Mayan civilization. Meanwhile a pool of human blood appears at a Mayan ruin where Tom was last seen alive. What is behind Tom’s disappearance? Has he traveled back in time? Or are the practices of the Maya alive and well, including human sacrifice?” A large spacecraft hovers over the pyramid. “What’s happening Manuel?” you ask, hardly believing what you see. “These Mayan ruins are contact points for other planets. Earth is seen as a leading planet. Other civilizations want to learn from us. They asked us to come to an outer galactic congress on the rights of life in the universe. That is the last transport. If you think Tom may have gone on the mission, go now.” If you decide to join the mission, knowing the danger of never returning, turn to page 87. YOU choose what happens next!
