What Amazon Says:
In Boston, 17 year old Kathleen is pregnant, but she swears she's a virgin. In Ireland, another teenage girl, Colleen, discovers she is in the same impossible condition. Cities all around the world are sddently overwhelmed by epidemics, droughts, faminse, floods, and worse. As terrifying forces of light and darkness begin to gather, Kathleen and Colleen find themselves at the center of the final battle for a very sould of humanity. Each of the girls must convince a young detective that she is the true mother of God - and that the other is carrying the devil.
This book was good enough. It is a very easy, very fast read - I read it in a day. Lots of short chapters and half pages of text made that easy. James Patterson is a commercial success, but a great writer? Not sure about that. The story was interesting. Got a bit drawn out, even in its few pages, and got a bit boring, but does circle back to redeem itself at the end. Left on a bit of cliff hanger, but this is an older book, so I don't see a sequel appearing.
