Description: In one cataclysmic moment, millions around the globe disappear.
Those left behind face war, famine, plagues, and natural disasters so devastating that only one in four people will survive. Odds are even worse for enemies of the Antichrist and his new world order.
Rayford Steele, Buck Williams, Bruce Barnes, and Chloe Steele band together to form the Tribulation Force. Their task is clear, and their goal is nothing less than to stand and fight the enemies of God during the seven most chaotic years the planet will ever see.
My Thoughts: I never finished this series the first time around and so much time has passed, I decided to start at the beginning. Tribulation Force was just as good as the first time I read it, picking up where the first book left off and then jumping ahead 18 months after the signing of the treaty. One of the major characters dies in this book and, though sad, not completely unexpected considering the content of the story.
I thought the authors do a particularly decent job of conveying the turmoil and chaos facing the world in the coming years as foretold in Scripture. I found the story to be equally frightening and realistic. The members of the Tribulation Force must be careful as they have witnessed the atrocities the Antichrist has already committed and the danger they are in being believers of Christ and it’s just beginning.
Overall, this story is very good. The story mixes suspense, action, romance and humor which helps alleviate the burden of such heavy subject matter, but what’s coming next remains imbedded in the reader’s mind as well as who will survive and who doesn’t.
