In DAWN of TRIBULATION, Book Four of the Last Dawn Series by D.I. TELBAT, we face America's Last Days. The Casperteins have fled westward to escape persecution, escorting weary travelers along the way. But their journey is met with a fury they cannot avoid. Levi Caspertein has lost everything to keep others safe, but his sacrifice for Jesus Christ may not yet be over.Rising from the ashes of a broken world, the One Planet Trust (OPT) sweeps across the landscape of America. It is a new government, spreading its ideals by radio transmission as they seek to purge the country of any citizen who denies salvation in science, unity, and the environment. In the midst of the global movement, its advocates promise a new American dream, but can they truly deliver?While darkness oppresses and violence threatens, the COIL cause for Christ continues and those whose faith rests in the Almighty find eternal refuge even in the face of death. The Dowler, Caspertein, and Radner epic concludes here—in America's Last Days.Dawn of Tribulation is a 120,000-word Christian post-apocalyptic novel. Bonuses an author note, map, character sketch, and bonus chapter from Dark Liaison, Book One of The COIL Series—where it all began.

Another page Turner from D, I. Telbat.
The story of the Casperteins continues in this book. Rudy, Rex and Levi are in separate locations all trying to get back to Meeker. It's difficult to think that this is the last of the Caspertein stories. I've grown to love them all. It's also interesting that these stories started 10 years ago with the Meridia virus and now we are dealing with COVID and it's mutations.

What a powerful and inspiring series!
I absolutely love D.I. Telbat’s writing and story lines. I stumbled across his Coil series and was immediately hooked. His way with words and putting the Gospel in his stories has brought me closer to my Lord and reminded me that I must have a relationship with my Lord because without that how can I ever truly trust that He will guide me through this life He’s given me. I’ve been a born again Christian for years but over time had become lazy and lukewarm. Mr Telbat has reminded me that Jesus is my guide so I must have a real relationship with him.
These books are more than just a great story, but are written in away that hooks the reader. My only regret with them is that now Ive read everything I can find that he’s written! I guess I will just have to start over and read them again. Definitely worth your time to read!!!

God is good even when others are not.
This book is the last of it's series about the Caspertien clan. Their story is one of faith and love for those who don't have it. It has helped me to renew my own faith and to realize that through faith in God all things are possible. Compassion and love are prevalent throughout the series. The Caspertien's have crossed the United States spreading the story of God's love and forgiveness. I recommend this book to believers and nonbelievers as a way to build up your faith in preparation for the end of times. In reading this tale, May God bless you as he has me.

Great Ending to a fantastic Series.
I was very well pleased with the final book in this set of C.O.I.L. books. I was kept interested by the writer's gift of mystery and suspense in writing of the adventures of Levi and Rex. The way the writer included the message of Jesus Christ was so close to perfection. How God's grace was illustrated left no doubts as to the reality of the possibilities God could use to win over hearts. well writen and quite believable. Until Christ return. Maranatha.

Awesome Story of Faith
Prayer and action go hand in hand. Loved this series of stories about the end times and how God led His faithful servants across the country and back at incredible odds! Loved the different characters portrayed and their strengths verses weaknesses. So many who finally turned their backs on evil to follow Christ. God’s love, mercy and grace was themed throughout the books. I’m sharing these stories with my family.

Beginnings of the tribulation
A scripture based tale of redemption and persecution. Continuing with the characters from all the COIL books, bringing them together as they fight with love as the world nears its end. Very spiritually based with example after example of loving your neighbor and your enemies into submission to Christ.

Wow! Crazy good, fascinating & I could hardly put the books in this 4 volume series down!! It’s the end of America as we know it in this apocalyptic world where only those who have peace & joy in their Saviour see signs of the times. They suffer persecution, share all that they have- physically & spiritually; & battle the forces of evil. It’s inspiring & gripping full of messages of hope.

Makes me sad to finish the series….
DI Telbat Is so very talented developing his characters and their emotions. I thoroughly enjoyed reading what God’s hand was doing in each crisis. Marantha!

I love all of D. I. Telbat's works, but this one effected me more than any other of his works to date. It had so much application of scripture! It had me in tears often, it was so beautiful...and scary, and pointing out the believers love of Jesus. Super super book! I highly recommend it

Mr Telbat wraps up another series making you want more. I love these characters like they are part of the family. I love the example that we can trust God unto death.

Please tell me there’s going to be a book #5! I mistakenly posted the review for this book under #3, but both are fantastic; I personally liked this one a bit more than #3. Thank you again, David Telbat, for openly praising the Lord and presenting the gospel plainly in your books. As one other reviewer pointed out, it’s difficult losing characters of yours that we’ve come to love over time, but there’s always a new character coming up through the ranks, so to speak, that we then come to love as well. Thank you for blessing us with your stories!

great addition to an already great series
Loved this last book of the series, or is it the last? I can only hope there’s at least one more in the works.
