![]() ![]() ![]() "The Rapture" felt more real to me than other "End of Days" apocalyptic nightmare novels and movies, not just because it is set in the UK but because I feel a strong affinity for Gabrielle Fox, a paralysed therapist (now there's a metaphor to conjure with), from whose point of view the story is told. Nevertheless, there is still a good end-of-the-world-as-we-know-it thriller to keep you turning the pages and solid science to keep everything credible. The focus is on the characters and the different ways in which they are broken and on the nature and impact of belief on how we see ourselves and others. This "End of Days" tale is more fiction with science in it than classic science fiction. A distinctly English take on the "End of Days" ![]()
