Answer: The Lost Symbol

"The Lost Symbol" was released in 2009. The book mentions 2012 and the apocalypse many times, as well as the number 2456282.5, which happens to be the Julian date for December 21, 2012 (the day the Mayans predicted the world would end).

Answer: Nibiru

The Mesopotamians believed that the earth would be destroyed in 2012 by colliding with a blackhole or a planet called Nibiru. They did not know exactly what Nibiru was, but they thought it would collide with the earth.

Nibiru was also believed by the Mayans, who set their calendar's long count to 2012. One reason the Mayans might have chosen December 21, 2012 is because it marked the end of the 13th b'ak'tun, which is what the Mayan's believed to be the length of the "world". The third world had ended in 3114 BC. The Mayans believed each "world" to last around 5,125 years, so the fourth world would supposedly end in 2012 according to the Mayans (end, but not necessarily destroyed).
