Domain	comment	The Domain trilogy is a Science Fantasy book series penned by American author Steve Alten.Archaeologist Julius Gabriel devoted his life to studying the Mayan calendar, a 2500-year-old enigma that predicts the end of humanity. But when Julius dies before solving the prophecy, only one person can save the human race from annihilation: Julius’s son Mick, a patient in a mental hospital.Meanwhile, on the fall equinox, a serpent's shadow appears on the northern balustrade of the Kukulcan Pyramid, just as it has done for a thousand years. But this time, a rare galactic alignment occurs, and a space transmission reaches Earth.It is the beginning of the end and a trilogy full of serious Mind Screw, time travels and awesomeness.There are currently three entries in the series, with a fourth and final book in development. Domain (2001) Resurrection (2004) Phobos, also titled Phobos: Mayan Fear (2011) Mayan Testament: Collapse (title given on author's site in December 2018)

Domain / int_13a499b8	comment	Diabolus ex Nihilo: The Guardian time-travels to 2032, with Michael and Dominique recovering, in order to stop the Yellowstone Caldera from blowing up. But nope, they end up in a completely different time and place due to a disturbance, and their ship promptly explodes by some unspecified accident, killing all of them and leaving Mick and Dominique stranded in stasis around Mars.

Domain / int_13eea985	comment	Arbitrary Skepticism: Despite all having taken part in an alien prophecy incident that almost destroyed the world in 2012, Dominique and the government staff assigned to the Gabriel family are now inexplicably unwilling to believe that the prophecy simply didn't end there and it is up to the twins to save Mick. They even seem to have forgotten that Mick's schizophrenia was faked by Pierre Borgia to get him jailed in a Bedlam House, because they come to believe that Jacob has inherited it and is making all of this up (granted, it is later revealed the Hunahpu gene has some tendency to schizophrenia, but they at the time didn't know it, and Jacob is not the case nonetheless).

Some of this is handwaved as having been injected with an aphrodisiac substance off-screen, but this new personality lasts the entire book, much longer than the effects of any drug.

As a consequence, she seduces him as he wished, but only in order to kill him.

Domain / int_56515a39	comment	Artistic License – History: As in the previous novel, the narrator wrongly claims that Hernán Cortés was mistaken by a god by the Aztecs, and it also adds some other wrong facts. It claims that Montezuma sent emissaries to Cortés to bring him to Tenochtitlan, when in real life he tried to impede him from coming to the city, knowing it meant danger for his reign, and it was needed a lot of pressure for Cortés to obtain permission. It also claims that Cortés feigned friendship before attacking them in Tenochtitlan, which is, again, nonsense; Cortés had no reason to start a war for what he could achieve diplomatically, and the war only exploded, much to Cortés' chagrin, because of political mismanagements and the Massacre of the Templo Mayor, which was even caused against Cortés' orders by one of his lieutenants. The novel repeats the previous' popular belief about The Spanish Inquisition, but it adds that it played a big role in the Christianization of the American natives and the demonization of their pagan religions, with plenty of witch-burning included. In real life, aside from being literally barred from judging natives, the Spanish Inquisition did not have evangelization among its functions (which was done by other religious orders) and didn't even believe in the existence of witchcraft or Satanism (very few witches were ever burned by them in continental Spain, and possibly none of them in the New World). Inquisitorial presence in America was mostly meant to make sure than practicing Jews, Muslims or Protestants didn't leak there among the Spaniards during the conquest, something that was more of a formality than a real concern anyway.

Domain / int_b2280b66	comment	Retcon/Series Continuity Error: In the previous book, Julius claimed to be a Christian turned agnostic, while in Phobos, he converted to Jewish Kabbalah thanks to Maria. Also, what he was going to reveal in the conference that ended his life was the existence of the 2012 prophecy, while this time it also included the existence of aliens held in Nevada. None of this can be attributed to the new timeline, given that his scenes set before the time travel of Sam already show him as a Kabbalist and aware of the alien stuff. In Domain, Teperman reveals he decided to study exobiology after a speech given by Julius in college. They don't seem to have this relationship in Phobos, as he never mentions it despite he is put to work for a long time with Julius himself. The wormholes, both in the past and the future, are now revealed to be a side effect of the LHC, despite Resurrection had stated they were harnessed natural occurrences. Mount Weather was destroyed by a Russian hidden nuke in 2012, as portrayed in Domain. However, it is there to be destroyed again in this book, again in the same timeline. The first destruction showed the entire mountain crumbling due to the effect of the nuke, so rebuilding it would have been probably near to impossible, if not worthy of some mention in the text. In the second book, Jake broke up with Lilith by himself after deciding she was becoming a distraction for him; it was right after that Mick told him she would become the Abomination. In Phobos, Manny tells her he did it because their father warned him. (This point could be justified as it being a second-hand account, as Manny might actually not know the exact story beyond the general lines.) In Resurrection, Lilith becomes interested in space exploration due to having heard a speech about the topic by Chaney as a child. In this book, it is because she started having visions about the end of the Earth when she was 17. Lilith also claims in Phobos that her soul was retroactively purified just after Jake and Dominique left Earth in the Balam. However, this very book shows her as still clearly evil fourteen whole years after that point. If anything, the moment in which she turns good appears to be immediately after those fourteen years, not in the instant the Balam traveled to the future as she claims. In Phobos, it is claimed here Dominique didn't want sedatives while giving birth to the twins in order not to harm them (a bit of Artistic License – Medicine, by the way). Actually, she desperately asked for sedatives and only ended up without them because the hospital was badly managed. This is weird because the birth scene in the new timeline shows it again in this very book. In the second book, Devlin was described as olive skinned, with dark curly hair and "iridiscent" but otherwise regular eyes. However, Phobos describes him as having straight white hair and bizarre, red-scleraed black eyes. Alejandro Rafelo was described as having a white eye in Phobos. This time, he is described having a strabismic eye. Kurtz's character changes totally from the second to the third book: in Resurrection, he is a highly capable, Genre Savvy bodyguard, while in Phobos is a Idiot Ball-loaded, comically lubric loon. Some of this is handwaved as having been injected with an aphrodisiac substance off-screen, but this new personality lasts the entire book, much longer than the effects of any drug.

The Tezcatlipocas were whales mutated in order to serve as mystic portals for them to reach this plane (or at least for their souls to reach it, given that they left their bodies behind). Later, Lilith and Devlin attempt the same.

In his vision, Mick only sees a strange grey matter appearing in the sea and a sort of psychic influence that attacks them. However, it is implied the baddies have human form, as a figure clad in a black cowl that doesn't seem to be a possessed Nephilim appears to control the Tezcatlipoca. Later, when Mick kills the two Lords of Xibalba, they reveal themselves as red-skinned humanoids with snake eyes, or at least this is their appearance after the disruption of their glamour.

Gregor Rafael did it to his son Andre, the fictitious Spanish Inquisition to the ancient Mayans, Quenton and Jake to Lilith, Dominique and Jake to Manny... It eventually reaches theological fields when it becomes about Yahweh and Lucifer.
