Summary: Hold the Horsemen!
Review: I've been doing some research on the name Nicholae Carpathia and I found out that it's a Romanian name! The Carpathians are some mountains between Romania and Russian and Poland. I think there are some forests there too, but what's really surprising is that The Romanians are all Gatholics and so it's only natural that the Antichrist should come from them. Because Judas, I think he was a Gatholic too. There's also a connection with Ghostbusters II, so maybe that's what the authors were getting at instead. I also heard somewheres that Dracula was called Nicky Crapathia or something and that on top of being a Vampire, he was a real count named Vlad Carpathian and that he was an Agnostic before the villagers put a stake in him. Which I heard was worse than Gothlic!

Anyway, great books, keep making them please.

Summary: BOOK THREE: NICOLAE
Review: The ongoing saga of Rayford Steele, Buck and Chloe Williams and the rest of the beleaguered Tribulation Force as they struggle to survive not only the wicked machinations of Anitchrist Nicolae Carpathia but World War III and the Tribulation itself. Having firmly established the current cast of characters in the previous two books, the authors turn the screws tight in ths one and the result is non-stop action from start to finish. Not necessarily a better all-round book than LEFT BEHIND or TRIBULATION FORCE, but definitely more exciting. Buck Williams's flight through the desert with renegade scholar Tsion Ben-Judah is an atompsheric heartstopper, but that's nothing compared to the awesome power of the Wrath of the Lamb. Great entry in the landmark series blends Christian theology and first-class thrills almost flawlessly. And you'll jump straight from this one's tumultuous cliffhanger ending to the next book, SOUL HARVEST. Obviously recommended!

Summary: Non-Stop, Edge of your seat thriller
Review: The third installment of the Left Behind series starts at the begining of the tribulation. After the start of World War III, the Tribulation Force struggles for survival as Nicolae Carpathia (The Antichrist) unleases his war machine against those who oppose the newly formed Global Community (formally the UN). Adding a particularly good twist to the story. two of the core members of the Tribulation Force are now employed buy the Antichrist creating a high amount of tension that serves to be very infomative for the reader. The members of the trib force in this third installment are now without a leader due to their previous leader dying under mysterious conditions. The book escalates and proves to be a page turner that you will find difficlut to put down. Action and suspense are ever present, as the reader is taken to locales such as Iraq were the throne of the antichrist is, Chicago, and a harrowing escape/rescue from Isreal which is perhaps some of the best suspenseful writing of our time.
