Items related to The Rapture
In a merciless summer of biblical heat and destructive winds, Gabrielle Fox's main concern is a personal one: to rebuild her career as a psychologist after a shattering car accident. But when she is assigned Bethany Krall, one of the most dangerous teenagers in the country, she begins to fear she has made a terrible mistake. Raised on a diet of evangelistic hellfire, Bethany is violent, delusional, cruelly intuitive and insistent that she can foresee natural disasters - a claim which Gabrielle interprets as a symptom of doomsday delusion. But when catastrophes begin to occur on the very dates Bethany has predicted, and a brilliant, gentle physicist enters the equation, the apocalyptic puzzle intensifies and the stakes multiply. Is the self-proclaimed Nostradamus of the psych ward the ultimate manipulator, or could she be the harbinger of imminent global cataclysm on a scale never seen before? And what can love mean in 'interesting times'? A haunting story of human passion and burning faith set against an adventure of tectonic proportions, The Rapture is an electrifying psychological thriller that explores the dark extremes of mankind's self-destruction in a world on the brink.

Review:
'Paced like a thriller with elements of sci-fi, the supernatural and old-fashioned romance this is a highly original yarn with a serious undertow...genuinely thought provoking and disturbing.'
Jensen rather puts me in mind of Margaret Atwood. There's the same ability to keep the emotional observations sharp but sophisticated, and the same comic flouting of femininity... A cracking good read. Five-stars
A compelling journey of the imagination...vivid...an absorbing embodiment and exploration of our fears about climate change.

'An end-of-days blockbuster to haunt your nightmares...unputdownable.'
A rollicking eco-thriller that successfully marries high-octane action with a prescient overview of the dangers of climate change...Deliciously apocalyptic and jammed full of ideas, this is storytelling at its rapturous best.
Wildly original...Gripping and crammed with ideas, with big, topical themes and well-drawn characters.
