Title: Has Millennium Rising mutated into Judgment Day?
Review: This seems to be a re-titled re-release of Jensen's terrific first novel, Millennium Rising. Preachers and prophets of many faiths gather in a tiny Mexican village where they are visited by visions of Armageddon. As each hurries back to his or her flock they set in motion events that will either save or doom them as cataclysmic events wreak havoc on the world. Is it the end of the world or is there a vast international conspiracy that has set in motion events that could get entirely out of control? Father Michele Deauchez was at Santa Pelagria but even though he had the visions (uniquely tailored for each participant) his cynicism leads him on a quest to visit as many of the world's spiritual leaders he can find. Starting out like an end of the world apocalyptic novel it wraps up in the finest of SF tradition.
Is the review positive or negative?
