Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
When the trumpet sounds, where will you be? Passengers in an airborne Boeing 747 find out in this riveting novel by renowned Christian speaker Tim LaHaye and master storyteller Jerry Jenkins. Without any warning, passengers mysteriously disappear from their seats. Terror and chaos slowly spread not only through the plane but also worldwide as unusual events continue to unfold. For those who have been left behind, the apocalypse has just begun. This fictional account of life after the Rapture delivers an urgent call to today's readers to prepare their own hearts and minister to others.
Amazon.com Review:
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

This part of the series was poorly written. Sort of like a story by a middle school kid who is a really good writer. Paper thin, inconsistent characters, rambling in spots and never able to capture the reader. A predictable plot that twists and turns to no good end.
I couldn't stand how the characters went from these strong personalities to complete indecisive, insecure wimps as soon as finding Jesus ... who then rebel against the anti-Christ. By the way ... think of it ... the anti-Christ. Imagine the fun you could have writing that character. Nope, not in this collection. Not fun at all. I was hoping for him to be a real grab you by the throat and throttle you character ... no depth to the character at all. He constantly sounds like a whiny preschooler. Very disappointing.
I really thought this collection was going to go somewhere ... I kept hoping. But as I moved from book to book it just got weaker and weaker until I just didn't care what happened to the characters. Just get it over with. Let the 1000 year reign begin already.

I really, really wanted to like this as I love religious fiction and those titles dealing with end times in particular though. There is no getting around it, however - this is one of the most poorly written books to have ever been published, period.

I love this book. I had to force myself to but it down so I don't read though it all at once. I find that the characters are very real, and other than the initial event (the Rapture) all of the following events sound realistically possible (in a novel). I have read many negative reviews from Christians denouncing that it doesn't exactly follow the Bible. And from others saying that it's nothing but religious evangelicalism. To all of those I say "It's a novel". It's fiction. It doesn't have to follow other sources and the writers can say what they want.
To me it is a perfect mix, not too far out there and not too much preaching.
I would recommend it to anyone interested. If you don't like the very first book then don't read the rest.
