Synopsis

In this terrifying fable of a world without faith, first there were the changes in weather. Lack of rain was turning the plains of Iowa, Kansas, and Idaho into arid blocks of parched earth. In the North, it was already January, and no sign of snow. All over the world, the seas were shrinking, and creeks and rivers looked like dried scars. But for Pete, the terrified son of a midwestern farming family, the first great omen came one unseasonably warm winter night when the moon simply vanished from a cloudless sky, and the clocks stopped.

Soon, Pete’s family farm becomes a prison as a strange sulfurous fog rolls across the land. In its wake, poisonous weeds grow wild, choking to death anything – and anyone – within reach. On the streets is a relentless army of scorpions with a sting that kills. Yet, when the government finally moves in, it’s not to protect; it’s for a reason far more deadly and absolute than anyone can imagine. Now Earth’s survivors face something even more frightful than nature: the evil of men. One man fights to uncover a secret that will save the world in this story of courage, passion, and the will to believe.

Climate change, strange astronomical manifestations, crop failures, a plague of thistles and scorpion-like insects - all lead to wide-spread famine and sickness. The only solution, according to the author's beli......more

I remember when my mom gave me this book to read, I looked at the cover and the title and I thought to myself "This looks terrible, why would my mom recommend this to me?". I judged a book by it's cover and I shouldn't have. I surprisingly really enjoyed this book. It was nothing like what I expecte......more

First sentence: My father was no different from other men; he had the wisdom of hindsight. He was also a countryman, and had never been far from the place where he was born, and had always lived close to the earth. So when he told us later of what he had seen in early January—a few months before the......more

Goodreads review by Fernanda on April 06, 2011

Taylor Caldwell express in this book the disturbed thoughts of a period. The Earth and its inhabitants are being punished by the evil they make and the disbelief in God.
