  On December 11, 1999 computers around the globe freeze for 20 seconds. Susan Garnett, chief of the FBI's high-tech crimes unit, scours Washington's systems for a virus that could have triggered the shutdown. But her search yields only indecipherable code and the next day the freeze happens again. For 19 seconds. Someone with the world's technology at their fingertips is counting down to the new millenium. But why?

  As 01-01-00 approaches, Melissa descends into the jungles of Central America, tracing the virus signal to its point of origin-the ruins of an ancient Mayan city. As nuclear crisis and disease spiral out of control worldwide, Melissa's search turns into a race against time. Because if she can't figure out what the virus's hidden code means before January 1st, the planet may face a power of apocalyptic proportions.
