The unthinkable has happened. Buttons are pushed, nuclear missiles fill the skies, and the world waits for the end to come. But suddenly, mysteriously, the missiles vanish, along with 187 million people. At that very moment, an inspiring charismatic leader offers miracles and explanations for these incredible disappearances. Only Bronson Pearl and Helen Hannah, co-anchors of the World News Network, can reveal the truth. In an incredible sequence of scenes, readers are treated to a firsthand look at what the world might be like in the minutes and hours following the Rapture. This exciting novel is based on the video of the same name that has sold over 300,000 copies. It is the first in a series of fast-paced end-time thrillers.

About the Author:

Peter and Paul Lalonde are talented filmmakers who produced a national television program This Week in Bible Prophecy, which aired on TBN. They also have appeared on Praise the Lord numerous times. They are bestselling authors of several books including 2000 A.D.: Are You Ready?, 301 Startling Proofs and Prophecies, and Left Behind. Success has followed the two brothers-and best friends-through their rise in the world of filmmaking. Tribute magazine calls Peter and Paul Lalonde "Canada's version of the Coen Brothers." The National Post says they are "Hollywood-hip" and "media savvy" in the way in which they bring their Christian worldview to the big screen.

From Library Journal:

The apocalypse has arrived: people are vanishing without warning, and a self-proclaimed messiah has emerged as a new world leader. In the midst of the destruction, news anchors Bronson Pearl and Helen Hannah, who've put their personal lives on hold amidst the destruction, begin to realize that the man the world believes is the messiah is actually evil. The Lalondes (Left Behind, Harvest House, 1995) have also produced a film based on this material, and the book often reads like a movie script, with an emphasis on action rather than characterization. The romantic relationship between the leads, as well as their religious conversions, seem particularly unbelievable. Buy only for demand.
