A news crew is shooting the disintegration of part of the Antarctic ice sheet when a mysterious sign appears in the sky during a live enws broadcast. The news crew soon discovers that Father Jerome, a priest spending time at a monastery in Egypt, has been drawing this sign for months. The search for answers was interesting but not as much edge of your seat action as previous books by the author and the characters get way too preachy in spots. I guess you could call the contents of this book, the sign of our times (*weak smile). It simultaneously feeds on expectation, fear and paranoia -- and because of this concoction, if you put yourself as a character in the book, the events in the story is believable. There is also a manipulative aspect in the story, which in understanding the greed of the human condition, however well-intentioned, ties this story up very nicely. Together, this book keeps you on the edge of your seat and the pages turning. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Menzioni
In this gripping thriller, a scientific expedition in Antarctica stops for a live news feed. As the CNN journalist Gracie Logan begins her report, a massive, shimmering sphere of light suddenly appears in the sky, enveloping the ship in luminous white light before disappearing as mysteriously as it arrived--the entire event witnessed by an incredulous world audience. Meanwhile, a monk in Egypt experiences visions that seemed connected, and back in Boston, Matt Sherwood learns that his brother's death may have been actually murder related to this erupting worldwide controversy over the meaning of this "sign" in the sky.

Also, this book was very poorly edited and proofread. I found many typos throughout the text, such as "We have to leave know!" In addition, although it is never stated outright, this story obviously takes place in December 2009 (indicated by references to recent events). Yet, one character states, "We put a man on the moon fifty years ago." According to my calculations, that would be forty years ago in 1969. I get the feeling that this book was rushed into publication without much attention to editing and proofreading. ( )
