From Booklist
Lots of people have been waiting for this book for a long time. Thirty years ago, Sitchin began writing the Earth Chronicle series, which posits the theory (supposedly recorded in Sumerian myth) that extraterrestrials, the Aununnaki, arrived on Earth eons ago and genetically engineered humans. Much of this book is taken up with backstory, but that doesn't mean newbies can just jump in. Although Sitchin helpfully highlights key points in boldface, there's a lot to keep straight here. Readers attempting to deal with a couple hundred thousand years of history, ancient astronauts becoming human gods, and Sitchin's attempt to tie it all into biblical prophecies may wish they were on another planet. Yet the series has legions of devoted fans who have been waiting to learn if the Aununnaki are coming back and, if so, when. Sitchin notes that it's hard to determine where to start the countdown to the end days, which may be tied to the Aununnaki's reappearance. It might come in 2012. Too soon? How about 2087? Taking the long view? Try 2240. There's more, a lot more, but we will not risk a spoiler. Ilene Cooper

Product Review
"Sitchin’s fans will find this an interesting, though inconclusive read. As for the inevitably skeptical majority, they will take a certain amount of entertainment from wondering what each new chapter will bring: Sodom and Gomorrah destroyed by a nuclear bomb? Solomon’s Temple built on top of a spaceport? Muslim minarets simulating rockets ready for launch? Wow." -- Kirkus Reviews --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

Reader Reviews
This review is from: The End of Days: Armageddon and Prophecies of the Return (The Earth Chronicles) (Hardcover) I consider it an honor to be the first reviewer of "The End of Days." I've been waiting for it since I heard Zecharia speak of it a while ago and I've already bought four copies, so you know I'm a fan. In fact, I consider Zecharia Sitchin to be on a par with Albert Einstein in terms of his genius, clarity, diligence, patience, and the courage to reveal his genius to the world. I've read this book through once and I'm starting to read it again because there is so much in this book to absorb and coordinate that I feel that I will not have gotten what Zecharia is really telling us until I know all the "players," places, and situations involved without hesitation or having to look them up. I'm already filling the pages of my own essay exploring key points raised in this book and I'm sure that once you read it you'll be as excited and ready for the future as I am. And thanks to Zecharia Sitchin for devoting his long life to the ultimate topic with such thorough and important results - this book, like all his others, has been life changing for me - the truth is in there! I hope he writes many more books. Enjoy!
