Change Described - Explained - Predicted   "What if you could describe the near and distant past, explain the ever evolving present, and predict the near and distant future? Not each specific choice or action taken, now being elected, or to be taken, but the cyclic trends in the dates and rates of the diffusion of human innovation and solar system, planetary, and climatic change. Well the ancient Maya could and my completed 532 page non-fiction book ‘CHANGE DESCRIBED-EXPLAINED-PREDICTED’ validates that fact. Then, the book explains how they did it – but doesn’t stop there. The book also defines things the Maya couldn’t possibly know. Things only modern science could uncover. Big things like the Galactic force that drives the cyclic rhythms of change the Maya were measuring and mimicking. Subtle things like how that force gets into our brains to define our autonomic self and influence our behavior.

In the Courts of the Sun
Pre-release review from 2012 Predictions
The Mayan end date of 2012 has already gripped the imagination of many people, and none more so than that of Brian D’Amato, whose extraordinary novel, “In the Courts of the Sun”, is about a fantastic journey back into the time of the Maya in order to prevent the coming End of Times.

Jed DeLanda, Maya, orphan, haemophiliac and calendrical savant, was initiated by his mother into the ways of a “sun adder”, and uses a Mayan Sacrifice Game as a form of divination. His skills lead him to the notice of Taro Hyaku, an expert in catastrophe modelling, and what follows is a truly amazing story of a race through and against time, as Jed, recruited by the shadowy conglomerate, The Warren Group, seeks to uncover the secrets of the Maya which will help to discover just when, where and how the final end will come – and hence how it can be averted.

D’Amato has an impressive breadth of technical knowledge and a remarkable imagination which he uses to great effect in recounting the fast-moving events leading up to Jed’s bizarre mind journey. He goes on to paint a vivid and terrifying picture of the Maya rituals and way of life. Every sense is alert: colours, textures, smells, tastes and touch are all described in graphic and scorching detail, as is the extraordinary sixth sense which Jed develops.

The story is told by Jed himself and, through his thoughts, we are treated to fascinating and absorbing touches of insight, humour and satire which give an even greater depth to the themes of the book.

“In the Courts of the Sun” is the first book in the Sacrifice Game Trilogy and is a powerful novel of imaginative and illustrative intensity. With the second part due out next year, D’Amato leaves his readers with a big question mark still hanging over the future of the world. briandamato.com (2012 Predictions review posted March 2009)
