Summary: As the Tribulation Continues....
Comment: Life doesn't get any easier for the Tribulation Force. These Tribulation Christians are again in the middle of Bible prophecy, and just trying to survive.
Buck and Chaim have gone to Jerusalem to lead believing Jews to the refuge God has prepared for the rest of the Tribulation. But to do that, they must face Nicolae as he plans to defile the temple. Rayford must carry out the plans to ferry these Christians to their refuge, placing himself and many others in danger along the way. Chang has to deal with the ramifications of having both the mark of God and the mark of Antichrist. And Chloe investigates a strange site near the safe house, which leads to great danger for everyone in the Trib Force. Meanwhile, God starts to unleash his wrath on those who have taken the mark of the beast.
People seem to be divided by these books, either loving them or hating them. Personally, I enjoy the story while finding the writing and character development shallow. Still, for fans of the series, this book is a must read. It's fast paced, with many jaw-dropping scenes. And the cliffhanger is the worst of the series to date.
If you aren't already a fan of these books, there's nothing here to change your mind. If you're already a fan, this book will entertain you and leave you anxious for the next, due out in 2002.

Summary: The continuing story of those Left Behind...
Comment: After reading "Conquest of Paradise" by Britt Gillette, I was instantly turned on to biblical end times literature, and I quickly began reading the Left Behind series. From book one, I was totally hooked, and I've read up through book ten in less than a couple of weeks.
In "Desecration", LaHaye and Jenkins move the story of the Great Tribulation forward as the resurrected Nicolae Carpathia begins an unhindered campaign of murder in his kingdom of evil. The first two bowls of wrath from the Book of Revelation are poured out upon the earth, water turns into blood, and sores break out on people across the earth. At the height of his godless rebellion, Carpathia desecrates the Temple in Jerusalem by proclaiming himself to be god. As the world fights to overcome his rule, the Tribulation Force must deal with the greater problems of the world as well as their own personal problems. This is a great continuation of the overall series. Fans will not be let down...
I can't wait to find out what happens next. I look forward to reading books ten through twelve, and I encourage other Left Behind fans to pick up "Conquest of Paradise: An End-Times Nano-Thriller" as additional reading. That book got me interested in this series, and what a great book! What "Left Behind" lacks in realism, "Conquest of Paradise" adds in abundance. The prose is much more advanced and the international politics are identical to the current world scene and the war on terror. Peppered with biblical verses, "Conquest of Paradise" will turn even the most hardened skeptics into believers, or at least it will make them think twice. It's one lovers of end-times fiction shouldn't miss.
Book ten, "The Remnant" continues the adventures of the Tribulation Force, and thousands of God's witnesses rise up against Carpathia in the days before Armageddon and the Glorious Appearing. Can't wait to read the rest!

Summary: The judgement seals are being read!!
Comment: Desecration, the 9th book in the 'Left Behind' saga is one of the better reads in this maxi-series.
From the opening chapter until the cliffhanger it is more or less non-stop action. Well, that is to say there is much more action than some of the previous novels in this saga due to the fact the authors have only a few books left to cover some of the most explosive events of the 2nd half of the tribulation.
For our main characters, picking sides has never been more important than right now. For Nicolae Carpathia, the Antichrist, has declared marshal law...and for those who do not brandish the mark of loyalty on either their hand or their forehead is put to death by guillotine. Worship me or perish he declares as he breaks his peace covenant with Israel and makes a mockery of the most holy of temples.
Now believers of Christ and especially the foretold 144,000 make their way to safety in Petra with the Carpathia's forces in pursuit.
I was also happy to see that the authors had progressed or matured as writers quite noticeably with this 9th effort. Though the camp dialogue still exists, it has improved and the atrocities and manipulations of the Antichrist are detailed. In addition when God allows the 1st of the seals to be opened and his judgment brought down upon the world, the descriptions of fleshly boils and oceans of blood are pretty dramatic and page turning. Even more so is Nicolae's response and handling of these global events, and now we see the world plunge further into chaos as even those with the mark of loyalty begin to question Carpathia's ways and their own decisions.
There are some who have taken the mark of the beast, and only when it is too late do they start to come around. Woe to them.
There are some introductions of a few new characters, but one death amongst the main characters will shock you.
