DESCRIPTION:
"Multiple "mini-plots"--but easy to follow!" according to LadyRoh. Books that have the main characters spread out all over creation don't usually hold my interest. "Glooming" was a very wonderful surprise! Even though the chapters took turns telling of the struggles of ONE of 7 main characters in different parts of the globe, the narrative was easy to follow & I had great difficulty putting it down to do other things I had to do! I can't wait to be able to get the rest of the series!. "Thought provoking" according to Pamela Beck. An excellent read, with well-developed characters, in-depth settings, and thought provoking plots. I say plots because, although the characters come together as the story continues, they have separate plots throughout the book. I would definitely recommend this book, and look forward to reading more in the series.. wjh said Good ideas, bad writing. Interesting concept, but so poorly written that I couldn't bear to finish it. Characters are flat stereotypes. A lot of technical detail about armaments and military maneuvers, then very childish descriptions of monsters.

Many will die, others will be corrupted, and the remaining few will be the humanity’s only hope. And it will be nothing like what you’d expect. For the old gods have returned to cleanse the earth, and their revenge will be swift and merciless.. All over the earth, strange and horrific events begin to unfold. The end of the world is finally here. A large and diverse group of characters struggle to survive as civilization begins to collapse all around them. As each one realizes their true potential, every one of them must go through a personal, danger-filled journey in order to turn back the sweeping tide of chaos and destruction that threatens the entire world as we know it. A US combat team in Iraq comes under attack from mystical forces, an anthropology professor has an eerie encounter at Stonehenge, a runaway teen finds a very strange pet in Arizona, a young orphan in Siberia meets a terrifying old woman, and a pair of NYPD detectives discovers the ghastly doings of a supernatural cult
