Nicolae

Nicolae is the first name of the Antichrist. His last name is Carpathia. It’s a book that rivets your attention from beginning to end, but you can’t start with this book. It is the third of “many” in the LEFT BEHIND series. You may have seen the Left Behind movie that was patterned after this book. It is about a huge number of people disappearing in what turned out to be the “Rapture.” The 2nd book it Tribulation Force, the 3rd, Nicolae, the 4th is Soul Harvest, the 5th is Apollyon, the 6th is, Assassins, the 7th is, The Indwelling, the 8th is, The Mark, the 9th is, Desecration, the 10th is, The Remnant, the 11th is Armageddon. I found all the books on Amazon, am reading Desecration now and have recently ordered The Remnant. I already have Armageddon. I can’t speak for anyone else, but I love these books. I can’t get enough of them.

Rayford, Buck and the rest of the gang are back and ready to do battle against for the forces of evil in another wonderful ride in the Left Behind series. As Rayford and Buck continue to appear to be working for Nicolae but are actually working for God they realize that the power of the antichrist is growing. However, due to the power of God so is that of the Tribulation Force and the stage is continuing to set for the final battle.

The Tribulation Force is getting ready for the most terrifying event human history. While they are mourning the death of Bruce who was there leader they must also continue to get ready for the tragedies that they know lie ahead. New allies are being discovered and they know they will need all the help they can get. Also Hattie Durham is back in their lives as she is unhappy with Nicolae and Rayford, Buck and the other might believe that she is ready to take Jesus into her heart. However, as you will read it might be more complicated than that.

Book three continues the tradition started with book one and continued in book two and that is on the edge of your seat suspense for Christians. And while I would consider the first fifth of the novel a little slow this is still overall and excellent novel and if you are a fan of the first two I would be amazed if you didn’t love this story too.

Grade A-

The third installment of the Left Behind Series will have you on your toes. This book takes off where book 2 (The Tribulation Force) ends. Nicolae Carpethia, the antichrist has come to power and has begun bombing the major cities, includinig where the tribulation force meets. Through these bombing the tribulation force loses some of their team and others have become injured.

During the funeral of one of their own the service lays out what will be happening next in the world, and the prediction of a worldwide earthquake, which comes while the tribulation force is separted by continents. Through the earthquake and meteors falling from the skies, a quarter of the worlds population does not survive.

Through this time Buck is traveling back and forth to Jerusalem and Egypt to find his friend Tsion Ben-Judah, who has been accused of murdering his family. Buck and Tsion, both international fugitives are fighting to get back to the United States without being caught. But now Chloe and Amanda are missing, will the tribulation force be put back together? Will Chloe and Amanda be found alive? This is definitley a series to continue following.

This is the 2nd time reading this series. Harrowing, exciting, frightening and uplifting! The emphasis is in each descriptive word. It is even more so because some of the events are current headlines. A terrific and sobering read. Get ready, Jesus is coming!!!

As with all books that are the continuation in a longer story, Nicolae carries on the thrilling energy of the Left Behind series. However, I think that the introduction to the book, having the “cut and pastes” of various highlights from the previous books, tends to be very repetitive even though I understand the author is trying to “fill in” folks who just picked up this particular book not having read the previous books in the series. Having past that point, however, the story line continues nicely with the series so far. The pace can be a little slow at times with the thoughts of the various characters revealed in DETAIL by the author. When it does pick up, though, I literally cannot stop reading until the end. I own this book both the kindle and by audiobook (Audible).Over all, this is a great series and has entertained me greatly. I recommend it to anyone looking for a novel rooted truth yet creatively interpreted!
