This is the third book in the "End Times" series. It was exciting and quick to read; the best of the series, in my opinion. The story ended at a point that made me wish for more; it seemed like there was so much to follow. I hoped that Neesa Hart was writing a sequel or a new series that follows this one, but a search did not locate any, and this book was written in 2005. The characters were very well fleshed out and I really identified with them and felt like they were old friends by the end of the series. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes books about the rapture and tribulation, and those who enjoy political thrillers.

Left behind political fiction. I identify with the rising tension.

Great finish to the End Of State trilogy. It was by far the best of the three and this series is miles ahead of the Apocalypse series, also based on the Left Behind series. I was really struck by how moving and inspirational the last 100 pages or so were. Brad, Marcus, Mariette, and Randal are basically racing against the Antichrist to expose a plot in the Fitzhugh administration to buy uranium stocks from a Russian stronghold to keep it out of radical Muslim hands. They also are faced with getting the message of Christ to the world before the reign of the Antichrist begins, and their faith and their lives are put to extreme risk in the process. Well worth reading this trilogy...
