Description
The #1 best-selling hardcover novel of
1999 is now available in softcover! The Tribulation Force
travels to Israel for the Meeting of Witnesses as further
judgments are released upon the world.
Satan falls
from heaven and opens the bottomless pit, releasing Apollyon
and his plague of locusts that torture the unsaved.
Apollyon:
The Destroyer Is Unleashed,
by Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins, is another suspenseful
chronicle of those left behind after the rapture of the
saved.
As the book
opens, Hattie Durham, the former airline attendant and
mistress of the antichrist, Nicolae Carpathia, is wracked with
confusion about what to do with her illegitimate child, whose
birth date is coming due.
Rayford
Steele, the airline pilot who flies Carpathia's plane, is
ambivalent about the mounting evidence that his late wife,
Amanda, may have been a false believer. Buck, the ace
newspaper reporter, and Chloe, his wife, are debating whether
to have a child when the future of the world is so
uncertain.
And all of the
world's thousands of believers are gathering in Jerusalem for
a stadium rally, which will lead to a showdown with Nicolae
Carpathia. Believers are increasingly relying on the Internet
for underground communication, and most of them are becoming
more and more tempted by violence as a way of battling the
forces of evil overtaking the world.
But demon
locusts are shortly dispatched as a divine plague to attack
those who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads; this
buys the believers a little bit of time to solve their
respective personal crises, all of which end in ways that will
keep you riveted until the last page.
