Virgen

Estamos en 1987. Simultáneamente y en dos lugares distintos -Irlanda y Estados Unidos- se produce un acontecimiento similar: sendas muchachas quedan embarazadas sin dejar por ello de ser vírgenes. Aunque insólito, el hecho no parece ir más allá de lo meramente curioso, sin embargo, es posible que constituya parte de un plan sobrenatural de dimensiones cósmicas, algo ya anunciado setenta años antes, en Fátima. Se trata de la famosa y desconocida tercera profecía que la Virgen María hizo a los tres pastorcillos portugueses: el Segundo Advenimiento. El hecho conmociona a la Iglesia, empezando por su cúpula, el Papa. Los interrogantes se suceden: ¿Es un fraude?, ¿de las dos muchachas, o sólo de una de ellas? ¿Cómo debe interpretarse el supuesto fenómeno? Y, sobre todo, ¿por qué dos vírgenes?… Sobre la base de esta trama, audaz y original, James Patterson ha escrito una novela sobria, tensa, inquietante, en la que, en medio de un clima de pesadilla, el terror alterna con el prodigio y el desconcierto con la esperanza. Una novela cuya lectura es imposible abandonar, una vez empezada. Una novela, también, imposible de olvidar. Porque la amenaza de caos, de catástrofe para la humanidad, que representa su tema es un escalofrío implantado en el ánimo del lector, un pánico de efecto seguro y duradero.
