Summary: Phenomenal!
Review: When I first started reading this book, I thought it was another typical end-of-times thriller. But after getting about 50 pages in I got hooked and read it through to the end. Very thought provoking! Scary!

Summary: Engrossing
Review: When I picked up MILLENNIUM RISING I expected a cash-in-on-the-year-2000 disaster novel, but author Jane Jensen does a considerably better job than that in her account of a global apocalypse apparently triggered by the wrath of God. A Vatican skeptic is Jensen's unlikely protagonist--a Catholic priest who is dispatched by the Pope to debunk reports of miracles. But in this case he isn't sure whether he's looking at the world's biggest fraud, or the genuine apocalypse. This is quite an engrossing book, although like many disaster novels it surges and crashes on just a bit too long, and events eventually stretched my suspension of disbelief past the breaking point. (Please, would somebody write a global disaster novel that does NOT prominently feature the U.S. President! ) Still, not a bad read, and interesting for some of its observations about religious zealotry.

Summary: Terrific read!
Review: Wow! This book was really a terrific read. Half way through it I started to look it up here on Amazon to see what other people thought of it. I stopped myself from doing so because I was afraid someone would spoil the ending for me.
Now that I've finished the book and I've seen other reviews I'm tickled that so many other people love the story. Like several other people here, I picked the book out at the book store without knowing anything about the book or the author. It just looked intriguing. What a pleasant surprise! I'll definitely be on the lookout from now on for books by Jensen.

Summary: A suspenseful, chilling and captivating tale.
Review: You can probably tell that I enjoyed Millenium Rising, you will too! Ms Jensen's first novel written for Del Rey books has a refreshing way of taking the reader into the prophecies concerning the end of times. Researched thoroughly, this tale of suspense and mass destruction is chilling due to its' more than convincing, feasable plot. The forces behind the plot leave the reader guessing right up to the end.....and beyond. I strongly recommend it, but don't expect to put it down easily. You may also find yourself thinking, "I hope I can sleep tonight". 'A Page turner' is a cliche that fits Millenium Rising. This is the beginning of an author soon to be recognized in the class of a Crichton or King. I'll be looking forward to her next novel. Ms. Jensen's story-telling talents are also well displayed in her Gabriel Knight series of computer games and books. She has a soon-to-be-released third Gabriel Knight game based on the Rennes-Le-Chateau mystery. I look forward to and recommend that as well.
