About this audiobook

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?

    2/5
    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 action flows smoothly with very few snags---even with its credibility stretches (it's an "end-of-the-world thriller" after all) it had me hooked. She also did her homework, drawing upon prophecies from various creeds, native mythology, Nostradamus, and 19th century spiritualists. And then she loses it all in the last 50 pages where she gives readers a finale dripping with pseudo-spiritual claptrap, liberal platitudes, and a moral hypocrisy so glaring it almost hurt my eyes. Fans of Dan Brown might enjoy the conspiracy theory angle but I closed the book feeling as if I had been conned.
