Acerca del autor

Jane Jensen has been both a computer programmer and a computer game designer, winning accolades for her interactive mystery series "Gabriel Knight." Technology is a second love; her first is humanities. She has had an interest in comparative religion and philosophy for many years, perhaps in an effort to balance (or fathom) her upbringing as a fundamentalist minister's daughter. She wrote Millennium Rising because in 1994 she bought a book on prophecies and it scared her for weeks. She did not build a bunker in her backyard, preferring to subscribe to "Skeptical Inquirer" instead, and she and her husband remain resolute residents of downtown Seattle.

Among them are twenty-four who experience something more personal: a messenger clothed in the raiments of his or her own beliefs--the Virgin Mary, an angel of Islam, the Hindu goddess Kali. And each is given the same terrifying message: the Day of Judgment is at hand.

The Vatican sends Father Michele Deauchez to investigate. And Deauchez, caught up in the incredible experience, watches his palms run red with blood from the wounds of the stigmata. Yet, as a man of reason, a man deeply scarred by his own experience of the supernatural, he cannot--will not--believe.
