This is something I happened to just grab off the shelf at the secondhand bookstore, so I went solely off of the description on the back of the book. The idea of global catastrophe and how society deals with it really intrigued me. However, I was caught somewhat offguard by how spiritual the book was. The description says there is a Reverend that finds a way to preach over radio signals after all the electronics stop working, and him and his message are the center of the story.

I realize that it's fiction. I realize that this particular genre is popular among those who believe a certain way. I even get that the storyline could've been good. But it wasn't enough. It was very "on the same road as those LeHaye/Jenkins guys" but with enough difference to not be copycat. In the end, I was left with many questions as there were some important ends left loose. Overall, it was an okay read.
There was nothing on the back of the book to let me know this was actually a book about The Rapture and The End of Days, not just a global catastrophe. Not fair. Not interested.
