The 8th Mayan Prophecy Kindle Edition

4.4 out of 5 stars 17 ratings

Nerdy outcast teen, Nick Jensen, believes he is at the center of an ancient prophecy, or does it speak of another? The world’s survival depends on it.

There are eight Mayan prophecies. Seven have come to pass. December 21, 2012, the end of the Mayan Long Count Calendar, signaled the advent of the eighth and final prophecy. Nick Jensen, a nerdy but adventurous teenager, discovers on his thirteenth birthday that he may be at the center of the incredible true stories behind the ancient prophecies.

The morning Nick becomes a teenager, he wakes to find his world has changed: he can see into the near future and is able to shift his human form. But he doesn’t know why or how.

Nick, and his best friends, Grace Wind-Walker and AJ Janikowski, embark on a quest to unearth the reasons behind his mysterious newfound powers. Their journey takes them from Lake Michigan’s Eastern shores to the ancient Mayan World and the Sacred World Tree – the gateway that leads to Minoan Crete and the First Civilization.

It soon becomes clear that their ability to interpret the prophecy’s true meaning is key to teens’ survival.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

I grew up in Wisconsin, which I use as the locale for most of my novels. I worked as a teacher, coach, and athletic director before becoming a video coordinator for 24 years in the NBA. That experience allowed me to travel to every major city in the US and some foreign countries, including a six-year stint when I lived in Canada. My experience there was one of the most positive in my life, due to the kind people and the city of Toronto. I have three grown-up children and six grandkids. Another work experience I had was at Disney World, where I was a photographer. I earned my master’s degree in Curriculum and Instruction from UW-M. One of my favorite things about being a writer is doing research for all of my books. I live in Menasha, WI.

    I just finished reading The 8th Mayan Prophecy. I found the story fascinating, exciting, and was thoroughly entertained with the fact it took place in Wisconsin. I'm a big fan of Dan Brown and Harry Potter. I enjoyed this book for many of the reasons I like their books. I can't wait for the next one, to see what adventures Nick & his friends will get into. I also purchased all three of Robert Peterson's short stories (AJ, Dreamcatcher, & The Tepal). They gave me a more in depth understanding of 'The 8th Mayan Prophercy' main characters and I enjoyed getting to know them better. I have highly recommended this book to friends. I gave copies to my 12 year-old nephews, who also really liked it.

    Good YA adventure. Good adventure build. Good character development. Can’t wait to read book 2.
    3 teenagers set out to discover the meaning of the prophecy. They learn about the prophecy but also themselves as the book unfolds. History , myths, and lots of action.

    I just finished this great book called The 8th Mayan Prophecy and it was FANTASTIC! It is a quick and easy read that young teens would enjoy, especially if they liked the Harry Potter stories. I encourage you to download it on your kindles. I can't wait to find out what happens next. I also read the short story called Dreamcatcher - it's about Grace and loved it too!

    I liked the content and the flow of events.
    I did not like the ending. The story is not complete. When I read a book I expect it to contain the rest of the story.

    It is unclear if the rest of the story is available. At this point I doubt if I will make any additional inquiries.

    The 8th Mayan Prophecy is a great adventure story about Nick Jensen and his two best friends. The story hooked me from the opening lines and swept me up into a world of bad guys, mysterious texts and captivating journeys. The 8th Mayan Prophecy is a book about self-discovery and friendship. I am eager to know where Nick's next great voyage will take him and his friends.

    I loved this page turner. I immediately purchased the 8th Mayan Prophecy after reading the three prequels to the book (Dreamcatcher, The Tepal, and AJ). If you combined Harry Potter and Indiana Jones you get Nick Jensen. You will not be disappointed by the fantastic adventure you will embark on when you read this novel. The action was exciting and I cannot wait for the next installment.
