Fiction. Suspense. HTML:

In the tradition of Michael Crichton and Margaret Atwood comes this apocalyptic thriller that pits cutting-edge science against God and asks, who will win?

A strange phenomenon is sweeping the globe. People are having visions, seeing angels, experiencing events that defy reality. Bizarre accounts pour in from distant places: a French teenager claims to have witnessed Joan of Arc being burned at the stake; a man in New York dies of malnutrition in a luxurious Central Park apartment; a fundamentalist Christian sect kidnaps and murders a geneticist.

Then there is the graffito We Are Becoming that has popped up in every major city around the world, in every language. And everywhere people are starting to talk about John Astor, the mysterious author of the book that seems to be at the center of it all.

After a rash of suicides around the world by individuals experiencing time-traveling hallucinations, psychiatrist John Macbeth and a team of FBI agents and scientists assemble to find out what's going on before it's too late. Is this a spiritual phenomenon??or something more sinister?… (más)

Slow in spots. But an interesting idea. What is reality? ( )

A very interesting take on a parallel present, frightening to think where man's ingenuity may take us, or have we already lived our future's? ( )

“Biblical” is a page-turning apocalyptic adventure in which people around the world are experiencing strange, inexplicable hallucinations.

Inundated with page after page of scientific commentary meant to offer explanations, readers are likely to find it difficult to care about the characters in this rather convoluted tale.

Although “Biblical” is meant to be thought-provoking, the outcome is predictable and the derogatory references to religion may ultimately serve to alienate readers who value their faith. Despite a truly inventive premise, in the end “Biblical” is a disappointment. ( )
