Piloting his 747, Rayford Steele is musing about his wife Irene's irritating religiosity and contemplating the charms of his "drop-dead gorgeous" flight attendant, Hattie. First Irene was into Amway, then Tupperware, and now it's the Rapture of the Saints--the scary last story in the Bible in which Christians are swept to heaven and unbelievers are left behind to endure the Antichrist's Tribulation. Steele believes he'll put the plane on autopilot and go visit Hattie. But Hattie's in a panic: some of the passengers have disappeared! The Rapture has happened, abruptly driverless cars are crashing all over, and the slick, sinister Romanian Nicolae Carpathia plans to use the UN to
establish one world government and religion. Resembling "a young Robert Redford" and silver-tongued in nine
languages, Carpathia is named People's "Sexiest Man Alive." (This reviewer, a former People writer, finds this
plot twist plausible.) Meanwhile, Steele teams up with Buck Williams, a buck-the-system newshound, to form the
Tribulation Force, an underground of left-behind penitents battling the Antichrist. |

Take a pound of apocalyptic suspense, add a dash of conspiracy, a little romance, and you've got a recipe for publishing success.
When authors Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins first imagined Left Behind, their goal was to create "...the first
fictional portrayal of events that are true to the literal interpretation of Bible prophecy." Left Behind began as a
sleeper, starting slowly and building steadily, selling by word of mouth. Eventually the book became a bestseller
and LaHaye and Jenkins discovered that the story would take more than one book to tell, so they continued the
tale in Tribulation Force.
Set against the backdrop of the Rapture, in which Jesus has returned as promised to gather his followers and
remove them from this world, the characters in Tribulation Force must confront life without their loved ones,
struggle with evil unleashed on the world, and ultimately embrace God's truth for themselves.
Pilot Rayford Steele, his daughter Chloe, journalist Buck Williams, and pastor Bruce Barnes band together to
study the Bible, pray, and support one another through this time of terror and uncertainty. They realize that
Nicolae Carpathia is the prophesied Antichrist, as they watch him consolidate his power. Buck and Rayford find
themselves employees of Nicolae, keeping their faith in Jesus secret so that they can continue to work and share
their faith unhindered while secretly fighting the Antichrist with the other members of the tribulation force.
The authors have drawn a story of intrigue and adventure set against a cataclysm of global proportions. Readers
captivated by Left Behind will certainly want to read Tribulation Force. |

Antichrist. The very word send shivers through us. And Nicolae Carpathia certainly does not disappoint as Antichrist. Nicolae is the third book in Left Behind series written by Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins, and is
preceded by book one, Left Behind, and book two, Tribulation Force.
Nicolae Carpathia becomes the focus as he continues to consolidate his power, unifying political states ("Global
Community"), media ("Global Community Network," "Global Weekly"), and religions ("Enigma Babylon One
World Faith") under a Nicolae-appointed supreme pontiff. Nicolae himself is grand potentate of the global
community.
Our heroes, pilot Rayford Steele and journalist Buck Williams, along with the rest of the Tribulation Force,
continue their struggle to survive and protect their families in the midst of global war and destruction. They have
come to recognize Nicolae Carpathia to be the Antichrist prophesied in the Bible, and to them it comes as no great
revelation that this man, who presented himself as a charming and benevolent leader, has been unmasked as a
ruthless and cruel tyrant, manipulating people and events to serve his own ends. And his ends are undoubtedly
evil.
It becomes apparent that the chaos and turmoil created by Nicolae are the fulfillment of John's prophesy of the
seven seals as recorded in the book of Revelation. And it becomes also apparent they are now facing the sixth
seal, a great earthquake which is sometimes called "the wrath of the lamb." This upheaval of the earth, with its
accompanying death and destruction, is familiar apocalyptic imagery: a blood-red moon, a sun turned black, and
the stars falling from the sky. And the Tribulation Force discovers that these incredible descriptions turn out to be
not so very far from the truth.
Who survives? How? What does Nicolae have in mind for the world? Readers of the first two books should not
be disappointed with this third installment to this chilling tale. |

Having survived the wrath of the Lamb--a global earthquake in the 21st month of the Tribulation--pilot Rayford Steele and reporter Buck Williams now embark on a journey of absorbing adventure and Christian triumph. Soul
Harvest is book four in the enormously popular Left Behind series (seven books are planned in all), based on
those who are left behind in the Rapture. Written with the same gripping pace of Tom Clancy and John Grisham
film rights have already been sold for the first two books), the authors take us to Iraq, America, underground
shelters, and the bottom of the Tigris river as Steele and Williams search for loved ones. Meanwhile, biblical
prophecies are fulfilled at every turn, including the great soul harvest. For many Christian followers, this series has
become a tangible and thrilling testament to the Book of Revelations. --Gail Hudson |

Apollyon: The Destroyer Is Unleashed, by Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins, is another suspenseful chronicle of those left behind after the rapture of the saved. As the book opens, Hattie Durham, the former airline attendant and mistress of the antichrist, Nicolae Carpathia, is wracked with confusion about what to do with her illegitimate child, whose birth date is coming due. Rayford Steele, the airline pilot who flies Carpathia's plane, is ambivalent about the mounting evidence that his late wife, Amanda, may have been a false believer. Buck, the ace newspaper
reporter, and Chloe, his wife, are debating whether to have a child when the future of the world is so uncertain.
And all of the world's thousands of believers are gathering in Jerusalem for a stadium rally, which will lead to a
showdown with Nicolae Carpathia. Believers are increasingly relying on the Internet for underground
communication, and most of them are becoming more and more tempted by violence as a way of battling the
forces of evil overtaking the world. But demon locusts are shortly dispatched as a divine plague to attack those
who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads; this buys the believers a little bit of time to solve their
respective personal crises, all of which end in ways that will keep you riveted until the last page. |

Is it right to kill Satan's hit man? Would it help God's work? This installment in the Left Behind series picks up with Rayford Steele--"believer" and international fugitive--as he struggles with a plan to assassinate Antichrist Nicolae Carpathia. Meanwhile, Carpathia has been busy rebuilding roads, airports, and a cellular/solar satellite phone system--all designed to help him become supreme ruler of the world--and even claim himself to be God.
We also find ace reporter Buck Williams anonymously preaching to the masses of believers and converts through his cyberspace magazine The Truth. All the believers in the safe house, including Buck, Doc, Chloe, and Tsion, are suspicious of Hattie--former mistress of Carpathia--who claims to be a believer but may have already compromised their secret location when she tried to buy her way to Europe months before.
Fans of the series won't be disappointed. Jenkins's signature writing is at full force. Readers can count on a suspenseful plot, imaginative futuristic thinking, and familiar characters, all of which appear in the opening pages and are sustained until the last cliffhanger scene when God unleashes another earth-shattering disaster. |
