Publisher Description

Oil prices are surging to record highs. A new dictator is rising in Iraq. China is threatening Taiwan. North Korean forces are ready to strike south. Israel is feverishly trying to complete the Third Temple....

And in the midst of a world ready to explode, American president James MacPherson's second term is ending. The battle to succeed him is heating up into the most fiercely contested presidential election in American history. Who will lead a bitterly divided country over the next four years? And just what role - if any - does the U.S. play in history's last days?

As the presidential campaign narrows into a dead heat, the Secret Service learns of a catastrophic terrorist plot to assassinate one of the candidates - but which one? Who do they want dead? And can U.S. forces stop the terrorists before millions lose their lives?

"This is the 5th and final installment to the series by Rosenberg that I've been hooked on all summer. I'm sad to see it end! It was a wonderful, yet scary/spooky series as I've seen fiction written in the book actually start to play out in America. The last book wasn't as good as the rest of the series but still well worth the read."

    " This book was AWFUL...I mean the subject is scary...all about the end of the world, and it made me think....are we getting closer every day?? Of course! It is the latter days, is it not? And where are our politicians taking us??? Closer to the final destruction of this world! Great series!! "

    " I liked this book and this series. It's not exactly an uplifting read, but one that makes you think...and hope that the events in the books don't come true! "

    " This book is almost too overwhelming but certainly sheds light on the fact that evil is real and needs to be addressed. Rosenberg is now "done" with his five-in-a-series novels--and I'm kind of glad so I can get on with reading other stuff. But he's thought provoking. "

    " Of the series, this book is the least interesting. Perhaps it was the strong emphasis on the "Rapture," but it seemed less "page-turning" then the others. All in all, it was a good read. "

    " I have read all of Rosenberg's books and to date this one is the best! He has his thumb on the heart beat of our nation and the Islamic world. Much of what he has already written has come true! "

    " For the most part I found the story interesting. However, once finished I felt a need to remove my brain and have it dried, as an attempt had been made by the author to thoroughly wash it. The style is preachy (literally) and driven by personal ideology, motives and beliefs. "

    " A fantastic Read. Keep me flipping pages right from the beginning. Closer to the end I thought some of the situations were a little far-fetched, however I enjoyed it. Politics and Religion were quite incorporated in a book that makes you wonder if the situation could actually happen someday..... "

    " Perhaps because I didn't read the earlier books in the series I wasn't as enthralled as others who did. Poorly edited with many typographical errors which is surprising. I personally prefered The Left Behind series for end times fiction. "
