o-Time: PUSH* - The 2012 Trilogy IIII
Foreword
The 2012 Trilogy 
Ever since the print publication of the rst
book in
The 2012 Trilogy 
,
The Cubit 
, I have beenasked numerous times if I know how the worldis going to end. I always answer
Of course. Don’t you? 
It ends the way it began, I say. With a BigBang. With the galactic mouth opening upand spewing forth any number of immortalhumanoids. With a snake and a tree andan apple. Nobody I tell this to believes suchnonsense. They want me to tell them the truth.Except, really, that’s not what
The 2012 Trilogy 
is all about. It’s not about truth. It’sabout antithesis. And, therefore, I promise notto rain great chunks of earth or sky or oceanonto the heads of my characters by story’s end.I promise that I will not crush our great planetin one fell swoop that cheats the intelligenceor copies cardboard climaxes so often foundin doomsday adventures. My Trilogy does not

end with a magnicent techno-ark built by
clandestine scientists who will use it to ride the
 wave of another great ood to a moon or planetor through some hyper-dimensional space rip. Ican’t promise you that there will not be re and
brimstone—every apocalyptic story has had littlebit of that in it—but I can promise that you willnot be cheated. And this is because the Trilogyis about people…the good ones and the bad.Antithesis.With this three volume adventure, thriller,
horror, sci-, fantasy (it’s been categorized in
different ways by different readers which thrillsme to no end) you will meet common peoplethrust into uncommon circumstances. The date,December 21, 2012, looms as the Trilogy’s forcedmoment of climax, not as the end unto itself thatalmost all End of Days stories tend to promote.
If you are looking for verication that Jesusor Muhammad or Buddha will materialize and
save the hapless humans on this date, I cannothelp you. If you want to get an inkling as to whyhumans even think this way, take the journeythat the Trilogy offers, decide for yourself, live with the characters. You are any one of them andall of them:You are the college dropout, the surfer and

the non-believer—if it can’t be categorized and
statistically rendered then it isn’t real. You arethe victim of an adulterant, of psychologicalspousal abuse, a soft person whose lost love forlife forces only one, singular belief: that paradisedoes exist but only in the form of sandy beachesand crashing waves. You are one who has lived
a hundred years in the body of a fty-year-old, aself-loathing beggar whose one dark secret hasdriven him to the brink of nancial and spiritualruin. You are young and lost and trying to nd
 your way through the blight of bad jobs, bad
bosses and just plain bad timing. You are an ex-
marine, a video journalist, a desert tour guide,a puppet. Yes, a puppet. Strings attached. Fatedetermined. Manipulated. Lied to…But hopeful. You can’t give up. Especiallysince you’ve found out the truth. Not because
Peter Galarneau Jr. has made it a plot point but
because, like the Trilogy’s characters, you havefound the dark side, you have seen the cubits notonly in battle but also in yourself and you havefought them with the weapons provided to you bycenturies of others so that you may live.
You are Billy, Joel, Stephanie, Janine, Marcy, John, Cooper and Michael. And you are a little
bit of Richard Manson as well. We all are to some
