Apocalyptic Review: Assassins (Left Behind #6) by LaHaye and Jenkins

Assassins (Left Behind #6)
by Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins

Description:
The members of the Tribulation Force face their most dangerous challenges. As international fugitives, they struggle to find supplies for safe houses around the world. In despair over so many lost lives, Rayford Steele and Buck Williams make plans to dethrone Nicolae Carpathia and expose him as the Antichrist.

Meanwhile, Carpathia has been busy rebuilding roads, airports, and a cellular/solar satellite phone system—all designed to help him become the supreme ruler of the world. Many believers want him stopped, but who will fulfill Scripture and help bring about the Antichrist's death?

My Review:
It's pretty good. Not quite sure who actually does the job in the end. The Christians are rather murderous in this, too.

The whole story is leading up to the demise of the anti-christ, who is supposed to be taken out at a very specific time. His death is the mark of the beginning of the Great Tribulation.

One of the things I like about these stories is that even though the Tribulation Force has an idea what's coming from studying Revelations, the way things actually play out is always a shock. It pulls you along.

Overall, recommended for folks who like Christian reads, apocalyptic stories, and literal interpretations of the bible.

Borrowed my copy from a friend.
