In this profound and prescient novel, Monsignor Robert Hugh Benson gives an imaginative foretelling of the end of the world. All stories, Aristotle said, have a beginning, a middle, and an end, but most ends ae relative, the terminus of a chain of acts or that. But what of the end that terminates all human action as we know it, the end of time itself, the Second Coming? Since this novel appeared in 1906, many others have been devoted to nuclear disaster, destructive comets, and other hair-raising possibilities. What sets Benson's story apart and makes it readable today as when it was written is the Catholic and biblical context that provides the ultimate meaning.
