The author carries over the action from the first book, picking up with the "resurrected" anti-Christ. This book repeats the last chapter of the first book. However, this seems unnecessary to me since you almost certainly have to have read Book One to make any sense of it. The first third of the book focuses upon one element of the tribulation, a series of events that causes catastrophic environmental damage. I believe the great level of detail here is uncharacteristic of the rest of the series and tends to drag the story on somewhat. However, the scientific detail does add to the story and makes you understand how the events in Revelation really can occur. By mid-story, the pace is quickened and, as a well crafted story, rivals any other section of an end-times book on todays market. The author spends much time bringing in elements of politics, science and religion into the story to make it not only believable but realistic and very possible. You left understanding how the world can fall into the trap of the anti-Christ. The story, told mostly from the perspective of the non-Christian / Jewish characters (including the anti-Christ and his New Age followers), you are found sympathizing with the evil characters situations. (Then you remember who is on the side of Holiness.) However, this effect has you intrigued through the entire book with the story, event s and characters. A few new characters are introduced, but the plot continues to revolve around the ever-more-complicated lives of those introduced in Book One.Like the first book, this installment contains some small amount of bad language. However, it is not unreasonable and will not offend you unless you are very, very sensitive to this sort of thing. So how does this compare to the Left Behind series? I think it is a better researched story, with characters that are just as good, and the story line moves along at a much better pace. You are also more likely to characterize this as a Christian-Action novel and not a personal novel that goes into way too much detail. (Really, three versus fourteen books. You get the idea.) This book ends rather abruptly, but you will have already ordered the third and final installment before you are done. It is that good of a story.Was this review helpful to you? 2 of 3 people found the following review helpful:POWERFUL, POWERFUL, POWERFUL, October 14, 2001Reviewer:Mary(see more about me)from ArizonaThe entire CHRIST CLONE TRILOGY is very well written. I simply couldnt put them down. I suggest you read this series with a highlighter nearby so you can mark things and research them for yourself. This is made easier by BeauSeigneurs use of footnotes.The Christ Clone Trilogy will surprise you with nearly every page. I highly recommend this trilogy to anyone who wants to understand biblical prophecy and the book of Revelation.
