Rate this book
President of the United States Shelby Robertson is in the third year of his second term. His time in office is running out. Four-star general Wayne Mitchell is the man in charge of the nation's land-based nuclear arsenal. For the past few years, both men have shared a common belief--that the apocalypse in coming. But due to their strong religious faith, they aren't frightened at all. In fact, they are determined to hasten the process.

It's terrific, a full page turner, probably won't appeal to any fundamentalist christian, (not meant to be a spoiler)

End of the World, man made, good characters, fun to read.

Not a pretty thought. Hope it stays fiction.

It was surprising engaging and well written. Interesting premise and the ending actually surprised me.

A fantasy. The evangelical Christian as described in the book is a caricature. The kingdom of God as understood from the Gospels of the New Testament is not a kingdom founded on worldly power as exemplified say by the kingdom of English kings or the Roman empire of Emperor Constantine. Jesus said, “My kingdom is not of this world..." (John 18.36) If men disregard this crucial distinction about what the kingdom of God is, of course, we have religious extremism of all kinds, "christian" or whatever. Hopefully the political machinery of the republic of the U.S.A. is inoculated from infiltration of any form of religious extremism so whatever is portrayed in "The Apocalypse Directive" remains just: a fantasy.

Not as much kissing as most thrillers, and that's why I liked it.
