With New Babylon now shrouded in total darkness only believers can see leaving unbelievers with blinded eyes. A member of the tribulation force is taken into custody and the future of the other members seems questionable. Tsion and Buck journey to Jerusalem as the Jewish people prepare for the greatest battle the world has ever faced. Chang and Naomi have become closer. The world is coming to a climactic conclusion as the antichrist steps up his massive destruction.

After finishing this book in just two sittings, I have to honestly say that, unlike the other Left Behind books, I couldn't put it down. I really believe it was because this book was much more character-focused than the rest. There is actually character development going on: growth, self-sacrifice, emotion, etc. For example, I really haven't been crazy about the character Chloe throughout this series, and this is the first book that really gets into her head. I found myself appreciating her a lo

"He was unarmed, falling, and mortally wounded. And the enemy was coming." These were the thoughts of Buck Williams, shortly after the Global Community Unity Army launched their first assault on Jerusalem. As the Tribulation is nearing its conclusion, Nicolae Carpathia has began the biggest military operation in the history of mankind, all as a last ditch effort to wipe the believers of God off the face of the Earth. All of the remaining Tribulation Force members, now numbering in the

This book came from a series, and so it was a little hard to understand what was going on at first. After going through a few chapters, I got hold of the story, and read on. It tells us the story of how life would be after the "RUPTURE". How people are divided into the "Believers of GOD" and the "Unbelievers" or Anti Christ. At the very end, all the characters died, and somehow ended right there. The story is open - ended, and does not tell what happens next. The b

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!!

I enjoyed the story as fiction. I laughed, cried, fumed, and shouted--all positive things--but I want to temper that strongly by saying that I wouldn't suggest it as theological or eschatological material, as some have. I'm not really concerned with the order and how's of end-time events and believe we waste too much time trying to figure it out. As Jesus said: "No one knows the times or the seasons, but my heavenly Father." Do worry about it. Live and hope. You don't need to have it a

Had to see this series to the end, or die trying. I should mention here that I believe that these books are not completely accurate when it comes to interpreting Bible Prophecy and the book of Revelation. After reading all these books I couldn't remember what was in the Bible and what was in this series. I went and read the Bible over again. Especially the books of Daniel, Matthew 24 and the book of Revelation.

The absolute worst of the series. The book starts with some good action and some slight character development - a big change from the disappointment that Book Ten was. However, halfway through the book, it changes from a decent book into nothing more than an extremely preachy bible tract. The character development goes right out the window, the plot development resembles something closer to a ride at Disneyland than a rolling, churning adventure at the End Times. Absolutely disappointing work fr

Having reread this series a good decade after my first reading I experienced many different feelings this go 'round.
I wanted so much for this series to end with a bang, but in this the second to last book I found it going out with a limp, a limp reflective of a cast of characters too big, a series of too many books, and an attempt to fictionalize a reality we can not yet know. The first half of the book was awesome and exciting. As Armageddon approaches it loses steam as the imagination o More...

I finally had to quit reading these books because they were so long and drawn out and dull. I was compelled to keep working at them for a while, but they would have been much better if condensed into fewer than half as many pages. Only the first book was good enough for three stars. I was happy to learn that I will get another chance to "believe" once I'm left behind, instead of going straight to hell. :)

Blogger and journalist Fred Clark has repeatedly attacked the book as being "Bad Writing and Bad Theology"[1] in a long running series of weekly posts[2]. He feels that after the Rapture the people of the world, including the heroes of the story, assimilate the disappearance of all the world's children with a monstrous rapidity that displays the ways that the authors have allowed their checklist of prophecies to be fulfilled to outweigh the consequences these events would have on the p

How much more fighting & killing can I read. I'm not even sure how to write a review on this book. It's enjoyable to know how God is providing for his people with manna from heaven and the safety of Petra but come on...really! Is this really what the Bible says about the end of times.
I'm excited for the next book in the series...Glorious Appearing! Jesus returns!

At this point, the characters - that have made it this far - you can't help but have favorites and have attachments for one or some so this was a difficult one to read without tears, anger and grief. The end-of-the-world battle has begun and the One World Unity Army has surrounded God's people.

Same problem here as with their other "Left Behind" books - characters who are essentially identical to each other because they are all goody-two-shoes, refusal to actually research what the Bible says, white-washing the holes in the plot and so on, and bad guys who are annoyingly stupid.

I've been slogging through these over the last decade simply because I have to know (even though I already sort of know the ending). The pace picks up a bit in this story with some unexpected deaths, but much of it feels like "been there, done that."

The eleventh book of the series, and it's feeling like the author is pushing towards getting the series finished instead of keeping up the quality that was obvious in the first volumes. This book rings more of untruth and although it's sad when some of main characters died, it didn't touch me the way it should have. At this point, just want the series to be over.

My reviews for this series will all be identical - if you're Christan - read them! If you're not - the READ THEM! This made me see the truth I thought I'd known. This going to happen and soon. Not necessarily like this but Christ is coming!

I knew it was coming, but it still sickened me when Trible Force members started dying. Suddenly, it seems, we understand that more non-believers exist: Muslims, Jews, etc. Carpatheia calls upon his demons to help lead his army.

#11 in the left behind series was a big disappointment. I think they are drawing this out and not doing a very good job anymore. The story was 394 pages of nothing. They could have told the meat of the story in about 20 pages.

After getting wrapped up in the characters and feeling the need to find out what happens to them was the only reason I continued to read all the books in the series. The authors definately knew how to draw someone in and keep it just entertaining enough for them not to put it down and never think of it again - barely. I read the series for it's fiction appeal, not the biblical meanings, so was a bit disappointed in the writings. If the authors had cut some of the scripture and backstory each

Not sure, but it looks like ALL of the major characters died in this book with the way it ended. The reader is left wondering how much longer before Christ's Glorious Appearing and who is left to see it.

Another great addition to the series. I enjoyed many of the characters in this series and was anxious to read what happens with them as they get one step closer to the Glorious Appearance.

Not much that can be said about this series that hasn't already been said. The bar has been set. I enjoyed every book! This is the 1st series that I have ever pre-ordered a book for.

This book was a page turner as well. But I heard a comdian say that by the time the last book for this series was written the end times would already be here, and that's how I felt!

I didn't really read this book - I clicked on the wrong spot and it showed up on my 'what I'm reading' spot. Marking it finished was the only way I could figure out how to remove it.

Scary! This book not only connects to the Christian believer, but for anyone, who loves adventure, a good story, character builder, and fast moving action, you’ll love this book.

This was the last great book in the series. The whole series leads up to this point and it is not a disappointment. It made me want more, and I moved on to the next book...

This book was better than book 10 but still not as good as the earlier books in the series.
I will start the final book this evening when my Kindle 2 arrives. I'm so excited about leaving the library behind and going electronic with my reading.
YIPPEE!!
