Throughout history, there have been many so-called end-of-the-world theories, prophecies. Each one has passed without incident, and by the 21st century, any whisper of such prophecies were scoffed at and most dismissed as products of Fundamentalist crazies or the New Age movement.
Except one.
In 2004, Neel Luthra cements his place in college basketball as one of the great success stories of all time. The first pick in that year’s NBA draft and winner of many awards, Neel is poised for athletic greatness. Not bad for a walk-on. However, things change when he meets Methionine Gilgamesh, the enigmatic owner of Akkad Corporation. Neel is completely captivated by Gilgamesh’s web of mysterious predictions about the upcoming changes in 2012, and his behind-the-scenes manipulations to make things come out his way. Along with his friends George and Jen, Neel sets out to learn from, and about, Methionine Gilgamesh, his influence on past events and his plans for the future.
From Philadelphia to D.C, Mumbai to Tibet, Neel Luthra’s exploration gives him perspectives that he never had before, a new respect for the strength of friendship and the dual cancers of betrayal and fear. Ultimately, Neel finds that life has more in store for him than he could ever have imagined and that he doesn’t have to be either a basketball player or a hero, it is possible to be both. However, ball does take a bit of a back seat during the summer.
