The stage is set as Nicolae Carpathia ruthlessly eliminates any obstacles in his rise to power. In the twinkling of an eye, loved ones disappear without a good-bye.

"This is another series with the Left Behind series although it is only 3 books in this series. It focuses on the beginnings of Nicholae and his early years before he comes into the Left Behind (12 book series) I guess a pre-quel to the Left Behind although it was written afterwards. "

    " So far I think there are too many characters in the book. Too much characters to predict by starting in the middle of this season. The author clearly has his mind set on something else besides on how to survive a rapture, more like a soap opera. Then he brings religion into these books which make it a little personal and agitated at some points. Out of all the apocalypse books I've read this is the worst. It doesn't really bring in Christians because they really don't enjoy reading end of the world books. :). At the same time it brings in the people who actually think the world is going to end, or just adventurous readers, and they end up getting quotes and prayers from the bible. This author seems like he has the completely wrong categories going on in one book. Those are the facts. For my opinion, the whole series fails at being anything near Christianity. I could not stand or watch anybody finish all of his books, because of what i said before its like a little soap opera. everybody knows everybody some way, and mostly all of them talk about god. although in reality I have to say that The author really knows how to write an action scene. Too bad all the action scenes are all like 4 pages long. :( "

    " This entire series was great! It kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time and made me excited for the next book to come out. It wasn't a "preachy" book but at the same time did witness. My review will be the same for all the books in the series. Well worth reading!! "

    " This is the one to read even if you don't want to read the other 15! You are elevated to places you've only imagined in your childhood during those long sermons. True? No one remembers, but comes close in my world. Loved it. Can't wait to return....many, many years from now. "

    " Another book full of things that could be left over, mushed into the first book of the prequal. Focused too much on heaven and what the authors thought it would be like. I think it was just a bunch of verbiage to make a new book to make money. "
