The Last Day

Meer over het boek

On Christmas Eve, 1999, a mysterious celestial event devastates a secret military research facility in Israel, leaving only one mute survivor who disappears into the desert. A World News Network team, in Jerusalem for a Millennium Eve special, investigates rumors of a Jordanian SCUD attack and uncovers a life-altering story involving veteran reporter Jonathan Feldman and cameraman Breck Hunter. As the year draws to a close, various messianic sects gather in religious centers, convinced the Last Days are near. At midnight on New Year's Eve, a striking young woman named Jeza appears at the Israelite Temple of the Messiah, coinciding with a violent earthquake that shakes Jerusalem and the Vatican. WNN captures the event on tape, and Jeza quickly becomes a global sensation, attracting attention from religious leaders and spawning a market for merchandise featuring her image. Despite claims of miracles and the announcement of an 11th commandment promoting gender equality, doubts arise about Jeza's true nature—whether she is a messiah, antichrist, or a failed biotech experiment. The narrative weaves in subplots involving Vatican conspiracies and cutting-edge science, challenging readers to confront their beliefs while delivering a gripping thriller.
