Preparing for the end.

I had already ordered this book. I don’t remember doing it twice. Now I have 2. Great series.

Another Masterpiece.

I don't have the time to sit and read a novel very often, but do listen to books on audio. I finished this book, 10 CD's (unabridged) in 6 days, just listening to it going back and forth to work and church. I have followed Tim LaHaye's work for some time now. I am an avid follower and fan of the Left Behind Series, the Prequels to Left Behind, and especially the Babylon Rising Series. Though this character does not start out to be as exciting as Michael Murphy, Joshua Jordan becomes a well established character. The story has a lot of what's going on in todays world, quite accurately I might add, and incorporates it very well into the story line. Any evangelical Christian who is paying attention to headlines of the times, as well as major characters in these headlines, knows and understands what is happening. The story has a little bit of Jason Bourne, James Bond, and Michael Murphy all wrapped into a new character that knows what has to be done and knows he's the one who has to do it. The family element is very good as well as the development of other supporting characters. My only disappointment was in some of the espionage aspects may have been drawn out just a bit more. But, that's just my opinion. Overall, this was a great story, with the potential to be another blockbuster series for a great Christian author who has an incredible talent ot spread the love of God and His Son, Jesus. These books, all of LaHaye's works, including those with Jerry Jenkins, have inspired people all over the world, and introduced an otherwise unknowing people to the Gospel of Christ. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing the second installment in this series. Thanks Tim.

Edge of Apocalypse

I absolutely love this book. I can actually see this happening in our time right now, even though it is fictionalized in the book. I can't wait for the next book to come out.

Excellent

We bought the book on cd to hear while traveling - the trip went really fast! The book was great from the beginning!
