Tikal Identity

The Tikal Identity is a fascinating tale that blends crime drama with science fiction. Set in the tropical jungles of the Yucatan Peninsula, The Tikal Identity is a story of avarice and greed which exploits the vulnerabilities of the modern Mayan people, a cultural group that has been oppressed and persecuted for hundreds of years.

​

Aided by modern technological breakthroughs, the story’s villain transforms into a former Mayan warrior priest called a “Halach Uinich”, or Supreme Ruler. Originally from the ancient city of Tikal, the reborn ruler styles himself as a Jaguar Ajaw, or leopard king, the ultimate leader of his people. His objective: put a dormant prophecy into play in order to achieve a new world order. The native population, living mostly in rural parts of southern Mexico and Guatemala, see the newly emerged Ajaw as their chance at vindication and redemption. They do everything they can to help their newly found king fulfill his destiny.

​

The only thing standing in the way is a small band of investigators who learn how the resurrected leader plans to start a revolution. They are in a race against time as a preestablished sequence of sacrifices and ceremonies must be held before a pending rare solar eclipse.

​

This epic saga is an exciting jaunt through ancient Mayan archaeology and tradition as the characters struggle to achieve their own goals and bring closure to events as they see them. The Tikal Identity is an action-packed adventure that will provide hours of immersive reading as you wind your way through thought-provoking character contrasts, historically accurate settings, and a remarkable, engrossing story. This is a book not to be missed!
