Jenny is the US’s youngest senator. Disillusioned by a contentious Congress, she takes a break from Washington and travels to Tikal, an ancient Mayan city that is designed in the image of the Star constellation Pleiades.

At the urging of a shaman, she spends two terrifying nights alone, deep in the jaguar-infested jungle.

On the first night, perched high atop a two-thousand-year-old pyramid, she hears a voice — otherworldly, haunting — that takes her on a journey through the mysteries of human history. Could it truly be a voice from the Pleiades, as Mayan legend foretells?

On the second night, the shaman guides her to the “Monster’s Mouth,” a dark, foreboding passageway that is said to be a portal to higher consciousness. Once inside, the voice returns, delivering a message that offers to reverse the self-destructive course of modern civilization.

This riveting novel by New York Times bestselling author John Perkins weaves ideas from his Confessions of an Economic Hit Man, Shapeshifting, and nine other nonfiction books into a heart-pounding adventure story that challenges readers to rethink humanity’s relationship to the universe and the future.
