When I think about how much study of Revelation had to occur to write these books, and especially this one it's amazing. This book covered so much related to the anti Christ and it will keep you on the edge of your seat.

I read this back in 1999, so my memory is pretty fuzzy. I'm giving this a 3-star rating because I remember that I made it through the entire series.

This book is a work of fiction. It's not a research book, nor is it 100% accurate according to the Bible. But I remember the overall story being pretty entertaining for an end-times-after-the-Christians-have-been-raptured sort of universe. Several people have mentioned that the writing style itself is fairly pedestrian. I didn't notice at 19, and I don't really remember now. *shrugs*

What this book portrays is not nearly as scary as when it actually happens as the book of Revelation reveals. The Antichrist will someday be indwelled by Satan and this will mark the beginning of the Great Tribulation. It is important to realise this is a work of fiction that probably doesn't do justice to what will actually happen but it is still a good attempt to give a glimpse of this terrifying time that is to come.
