Rayford also remarries. In this book Nicholae solidifies himself as the ruler of earth via the old UN. Washington and NY are attacked and the tribulation period begins. ( )I've only read the first two books and they've already brought me closer to God I was very disappointed by this book. The ending of Left Behind led me to believe this book would be quite a bit more than it was. There was very little action or suspense in this book, it was mostly a character driven novel about the 4 main characters getting jobs, falling in love, and feeling overwhelmed by what is to come. It does pick up a bit at the very end to set up the next book, but I'm not willing to take the bait. When the Antichrist takes over the world, Rayford, Buck, Bruce, and Chloe form the Tribulation Force to try and stop the war, famine, plagues, and disasters that are killing millions of people. 0.103 seconds to build listing
Amazon.com (ISBN 0842329218, Paperback)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.
