Publisher Description

The apocalyptic saga, which includes Left Behind and Tribulation Force, continues in the exciting third volume of this best-selling series. In Nicolae, as the dramatic fulfillment of Biblical prophecy is unleashed upon an astonished world, World War III begins. Although the small band of believers called Tribulation Force have been scattered by the outbreak of the war, they draw strength from their faith in Christ. Still working for Nicolae Carpathia, the evil world leader, Rayford Steele helps the believers by passing on information about Nicolae's devastating plans. But spiritual forces have an even greater use for Steele in their battle against the Antichrist. The works of inspirational authors LaHaye and Jenkins have thrilled millions of readers worldwide, and Nicolae creates more breathtaking visions of what many believe will really happen. Through narrator Richard Ferrone's performance, the conflict builds to a fiery climax that will leave you eager for Soul Harvest, the next book in the series.

"I liked this one better than the 2nd in the series. It was not as evil and dark as I anticipated it to be, which helped! The story flowed much better. I saw more of the religious differences that I expected to see from the start, but nothing "strange" or anything. I still look forward to reading more."

    " I think that each book gets better, but this could also be due in part to the fact that I had seen the first two movies before I read the books and movies always ruin a book if you haven't read it. I can tell that the authors had done their studies of Revelation in depth. "
