Jenkins and LaHaye still do not know how to write children and bothers the crap out of me. How they have 20 children's books is beyond me.
The Regime lays good groundwork for what is to come in The Left Behind series. Unless you've read the series, you won't know what you need to know. Remember everything.

The second in the Left Behind prequel series. The action is a bit dragged out in this book, but it's still an enjoyable read. Interesting to see what Tim Lahaye & Jerry B. Jenkins imagine the world before the rapture might be like.
The story telling is not as good as "The Rising," but is much better than the main series.
In this book the characters are developed further. Emphases is placed on their background and believes. Nicolae rises to prominence in Romania. His character is cruel and unloving and has links to Satan.
The Left Behind series is one of the greatest successes in the history of publishing, with each of the 12 original novels and the first prequel all cracking the New York Times best seller list. All together, more than 60 million copies of the books are in print, meaning they comprise the fastest-selling adult fiction series of all time. Phenomenally popular authors Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins gave their devoted fans what they wanted, more, when The Rising began the Before They Were Left Behind series, the thrilling saga that leads to the events of the original books. Now The Regime propels the story forward.
As the Antichrist continues to rise, Rayford, Buck and Chloe live their lives unaware that the globe is hurtling toward the show more Rapture. But when events in Israel heat up, the drama intensifies, and humankind steps ever closer to the seven years of Tribulation. show less

All of the Left Behind books are provacative and page turning. I read them all at least once a year.
