Synopsis

Right after the millennium, pilgrims of all faiths flock to the Mexican village of Santa Pelagia to witness a miraculous visitation. Among them are twenty-four who experience their own startling personal vision. A messenger appears differently to each - as the Virgin Mary, an angel of Islam, the Hindu goddess Kali - but carries the same terrifying tidings: The Day of Judgment is at hand. To investigate this extraordinary situation come two very different men. Father Michael Deauchez is an agent of the Vatican, with personal experience of the supernatural - and a dedication to reason that will not allow him to believe the wonders he witnesses. Simon Hill is a top New York Times reporter, convinced that the events in Santa Pelagia are Pulitzer material, especially when the apocalyptic prophecies of the Twenty-Four begin to come true. From the holiest councils of the Vatican to the boardrooms of powerful multinational corporations to the highest level of the U.S. government and military, Deauchez and Hill hunt desperately for the truth, as the prospect of the world's end looms ever closer. But what is the truth? Mass hysteria? A devious, far-reaching plot? Or has God truly spoken?

A techno-psycho-theological thriller that starts out strong enough as a skeptical Catholic priest begins to have doubts after signs of The Apocalypse start manifesting themselves around the globe...manifestations whose origins may or may not be divine. Jensen's characters are clearly drawn and the a......more

Goodreads review by Malena on November 28, 2023

Toda vez que me senté a leer este libro pensé que invertía muy bien mi tiempo. Las personalidades y movimientos de cada personaje son atrapantes, están muy bien escritos, en especial porque puede sentirse la diferente ansiedad de cada uno por un reloj que corre contra la vida de todos: el apocalipsi......more

Goodreads review by Guille on December 28, 2024

Es una obra de suspense donde el autor juega con la idea de que es posible que el fin del mundo haya llegado. Recuerdo haber tenido la sensación angustiosa de que alguna de esas profecías se estaban cumpliendo. Es una novela entretenida de suspense y algo de terror religioso, si te asusta el fin del......more

Goodreads review by Terry on August 09, 2018

Excellent Apocalyptic story. It's evident early on that it is man made. The characters are well developed. Reading this during unusually high temperatures, drought, and fires made the story very vivid......more
