Left
Behind: A Novel of the Earth's Last Days (Left Behind #1)
by Tim F. LaHaye, Jerry B. Jenkins
Piloting his 747, Rayford Steele is musing about his wife Irene's irritating
religiosity and contemplating the charms of his "drop-dead gorgeous" flight
attendant, Hattie. First Irene was into Amway, then Tupperware, and now
it's the Rapture of the Saints--the scary last story in the Bible in which
Christians are swept to heaven and unbelievers are left behind to endure
the Antichrist's Tribulation. Steele believes he'll put the plane on autopilot
and go visit Hattie. But Hattie's in a panic: some of the passengers have
disappeared! The Rapture has happened, abruptly driverless cars are crashing
all over, and the slick, sinister Romanian Nicolae Carpathia plans to use
the UN to establish one world government and religion. Resembling "a young
Robert Redford" and silver-tongued in nine languages, Carpathia is named
People's "Sexiest Man Alive." (This reviewer, a former People writer, finds
this plot twist plausible.) Meanwhile, Steele teams up with Buck Williams,
a buck-the-system newshound, to form the Tribulation Force, an underground
of left-behind penitents battling the Antichrist.
Ex-presidential candidate Pat Robertson briefly outsold Michael Crichton
with his apocalypse novel The End of the Age (now available on audiocassette),
and the similar The Third Millennium sells well, but the Left Behind series
is the absolute champion in the race to make the Book of Revelation into
racy thriller reading. --Tim Appelo - Amazon.com

Tribulation
Force: The Continuing Drama of Those Left Behind (Left Behind No. 2)
by Tim F. Lahaye
Take a pound of apocalyptic suspense, add a dash of conspiracy, a little
romance, and you've got a recipe for publishing success.
When authors Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins first imagined Left Behind,
their goal was to create "...the first fictional portrayal of events that
are true to the literal interpretation of Bible prophecy." Left Behind
began as a sleeper, starting slowly and building steadily, selling by word
of mouth. Eventually the book became a bestseller and LaHaye and Jenkins
discovered that the story would take more than one book to tell, so they
continued the tale in Tribulation Force.
Set against the backdrop of the Rapture, in which Jesus has returned
as promised to gather his followers and remove them from this world, the
characters in Tribulation Force must confront life without their loved
ones, struggle with evil unleashed on the world, and ultimately embrace
God's truth for themselves.
Pilot Rayford Steele, his daughter Chloe, journalist Buck Williams,
and pastor Bruce Barnes band together to study the Bible, pray, and support
one another through this time of terror and uncertainty. They realize that
Nicolae Carpathia is the prophesied Antichrist, as they watch him consolidate
his power. Buck and Rayford find themselves employees of Nicolae, keeping
their faith in Jesus secret so that they can continue to work and share
their faith unhindered while secretly fighting the Antichrist with the
other members of the tribulation force.
The authors have drawn a story of intrigue and adventure set against
a cataclysm of global proportions. Readers captivated by Left Behind will
certainly want to read Tribulation Force. Amazon.com
