The book takes the view that the Mayan preditions will mean a shift in consciousness, not an apocalyptic end of the world.
If you re going to read one novel before the world ends on December 21st, 2012, make it Piero Rivolta ‘s provocative Journey Beyond 2012!
“Piero Rivolta gives us a refreshing alternative to the dystopian scenarios predicted for the world when the Mayan calendar ends on December 21, 2012. Instead, he offers a quiet meditation on the nature of our existence, an exposition on the hope for mankind to awaken to the goodness and creativity that lie within each of us.”- Donna Marie Smith, librarian, Palm Beach County Library System, West Palm Beach, Florida
“If you’re going to read one novel before the world ends on December 21st, 2012, make it Piero Rivolta’s provocative Journey Beyond 2012!”- Rik Feeney, author, book coach
“Piero Rivolta’s engaging novel, Journey Beyond 2012, is a cosmic morality tale that is brimming with anticipation. Through the lens of a philosophical kaleidoscope laced with wisdom, the story simultaneously takes us forward and backwards in time. Its variable themes include Wall Street, the politics of innuendo and distortion, and the DNA of survival.”- Stephanie Dale, author, My Pilgrim’s Heart
“An evocative, romantic, thought-provoking read, Journey Beyond 2012 deals with issues we can all relate to in an original, imaginative way. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this novel.”- Derek Han, concert pianist
“Finally, a doomsday 2012 novel without meteors, earthquakes, tsunamis, viral epidemics, or zombies. Piero Rivolta is to be congratulated for eschewing the commonplace while taking what is quite literally a high road. Although spurred on by the predictions of Nostradamus, the Mayan calendar wheel, and Chinese astrology, Rivolta writes not about the end of life on earth, but of its evolution to a higher plane. . . There is much nourishment for the mind and soul in Journey Beyond 2012. . . a solid, entertaining, and thoughtful story.”– Mark G. McLaughlin,
