Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

Global Community forces shatter U.S. cities. Carpathia promises peace, urges global unity. Military vows to eliminate insurgent ‘Tribulation Force’.

In the two years since millions vanished in an instant, a new world order has risen from the rubble. Tension crackles as the strangely enthralling leader Nicolae Carpathia consolidates his power over the new Global Community. Heads of state, financial and religious leaders, and even the media cower before Carpathia, reduced to puppets of his regime. Only pilot Rayford Steele, journalist Buck Williams, and the rest of the Tribulation Force know Carpathia for what he truly is―a dictator intent on snaring the world in his web of deceit. Amid personal heartbreak and the bloodshed and chaos of World War III, the Tribulation Force must stop him at any cost.

Evil has a name: Nicolae―#3 in the phenomenal New York Times best-selling Left Behind series that rocked the publishing world and made millions think seriously about the future and their places in it.

With special features relating to current events and end-times prophecy.

    Dr. Tim LaHaye (www.timlahaye.com), who conceived the idea of fictionalizing an account of the Rapture and the Tribulation, is a noted author, minister, and nationally recognized speaker on Bible prophecy. He is the founder of both Tim LaHaye Ministries and The PreTrib Research Center. He also recently cofounded the Tim LaHaye School of Prophecy at Liberty University. Presently Dr. LaHaye speaks at many Bible prophecy conferences in the U.S. and Canada, where his current prophecy books are very popular.

    Dr. LaHaye holds a doctor of ministry degree from Western Theological Seminary and a doctor of literature degree from Liberty University. For 25 years he pastored one of the nation's outstanding churches in San Diego, which grew to three locations. It was during that time that he founded two accredited Christian high schools, a Christian school system of ten schools, and San Diego Christian College (formerly known as Christian Heritage College).

    Dr. LaHaye has written over 50 non-fiction books and co-authored 25 fiction books, many of which have been translated into 34 languages. He has written books on a wide variety of subjects, such as family life, temperaments, and Bible prophecy. His most popular fiction works, the Left Behind series, written with Jerry B. Jenkins, continue to appear on the best-seller lists of the Christian Booksellers Association, "Publishers Weekly," the "Wall Street Journal," "USA Today," and the "New York Times."

    Another popular series by LaHaye and Jenkins is The Jesus Chronicles. This four-book fiction series gives readers a rich first century experience as John, Mark, Luke, and Matthew recount thrilling accounts of the life of Jesus. Dr. LaHaye is co-author of another fiction series, Babylon Rising. Each of the four titles in this series have debuted in the top 10 on the New York Times best seller list. These are suspense thrillers with thought-provoking messages.

I bought this book to go in my set and it is so much smaller. I didn't even know they made hardcovers this small. Now I have to order a new book. Very disappointing.

Rayford, Buck and the rest of the gang are back and ready to do battle against for the forces of evil in another wonderful ride in the Left Behind series. As Rayford and Buck continue to appear to be working for Nicolae but are actually working for God they realize that the power of the antichrist is growing. However, due to the power of God so is that of the Tribulation Force and the stage is continuing to set for the final battle.

The Tribulation Force is getting ready for the most terrifying event human history. While they are mourning the death of Bruce who was there leader they must also continue to get ready for the tragedies that they know lie ahead. New allies are being discovered and they know they will need all the help they can get. Also Hattie Durham is back in their lives as she is unhappy with Nicolae and Rayford, Buck and the other might believe that she is ready to take Jesus into her heart. However, as you will read it might be more complicated than that.

Book three continues the tradition started with book one and continued in book two and that is on the edge of your seat suspense for Christians. And while I would consider the first fifth of the novel a little slow this is still overall and excellent novel and if you are a fan of the first two I would be amazed if you didn't love this story too.

Nicolae is the first name of the Antichrist. His last name is Carpathia. It's a book that rivets your attention from beginning to end, but you can't start with this book. It is the third of "many" in the LEFT BEHIND series. You may have seen the Left Behind movie that was patterned after this book. It is about a huge number of people disappearing in what turned out to be the "Rapture." The 2nd book it Tribulation Force, the 3rd, Nicolae, the 4th is Soul Harvest, the 5th is Apollyon, the 6th is, Assassins, the 7th is, The Indwelling, the 8th is, The Mark, the 9th is, Desecration, the 10th is, The Remnant, the 11th is Armageddon. I found all the books on Amazon, am reading Desecration now and have recently ordered The Remnant. I already have Armageddon. I can't speak for anyone else, but I love these books. I can't get enough of them.

As a non-religious person I knew very little about the Christian beliefs concerning the 'Rapture' and 'Christ's Second Coming'. I also felt a series based in religion would hold very little interest for me. How wrong I was!!! The books are fast paced, exciting and real page turners. The characters are believable and you find yourself immersed in their stories, wanting them to survive. I also learnt a huge amount and found myself considering what the Bible foretells, wondering if there actually is some truth to it. The 'Left Behind' series commanded my interest, fascinated me and changed my perspective on religion. I would recommend this series to believers and to those who may be sceptical (like I was) but who are willing to approach this with an open mind and a preparedness to be taught something as well as enjoying a fascinating read. Excellent series and extremely talented authors who know what they're talking about.
