They taught their charges daily, based on the cyberspace sermons and lessons from the prolific Tsion Ben-Judah. Tens of thousands of such clandestine local house churches, their very existence flying the face of the all-inclusive Enigma Babylon One world Faith, saw courageous converts added to the church every day... In the most explosive episode yet in the continuing drama of those left behind, the Tribulation Force hurtles toward the four murders foretold in prophecy.

Yet another Force member dies, and other join as crises draw them around the globe.

4.0 out of 5 stars This Book will leave you thinking!, April 21, 2000

By 

Jonathan Jones - See all my reviews

This review is from: Assassins (Left Behind, Book 6) (Hardcover)

After I read the last words of this book, the first word that came out of my mouth was "Wow!" This book will leave you anxiously waiting for the next book of the series.

The book begins with the Tribulation Force still hiding out in the safe house. Rayford is experiencing an incessantly growing desire to assasinate the Anti-Christ. His rage is fed even more when the Tribulation Force experiences a tragedy near the beginning of the book. The intensity of the story builds as "due time" approaches for the Two Witnesses at the Wailing Wall and Hattie mysteriously disappears. In fear that the safe house's security might be compromised, the tribulation force attempts to retrieve Hattie.

The dialogue and action in this book are extremely engaging and most readers will not be disappointed. I did, however, grow somewhat weary of the story's account of Rayford's plot to destroy Carparthia. I guess the author wanted to depict the consequences of the pressure that is put on imperfect saints. This, however, did not diminish the story's potency.

The book's explosive ending leaves many questions and will leave the readers speculating and guessing and looking forward to the next book in the series. "The Indwelling: The Beast Takes Possession."

5.0 out of 5 stars If you enjoyed Left Behind . . ., May 1, 2003

By 

Ashley - See all my reviews

This review is from: Assassins (Left Behind, Book 6) (Paperback)

If you enjoy Left Behind, I would strongly second what so many other reveiwers have already said and suggest The
Christ Clone novels and We All Fall Down by Brian Caldwell. Both are similar to Left Behind but vastly different in aproach. I read them while waiting for the eleventh Left Behind and, while I love that series, found them to be just as good, and possibly better.

3.0 out of 5 stars Working my way through, but not impressed., December 20, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Assassins (Left Behind, Book 6) (Hardcover)

I got these books as a Christmas gift and am tearing through them a mile a minute. Not because they're good reading, but because there's so little to them--both in content and length! Everything is so prolonged and simplistic (and redundant), that you finish them in no time at all. I will finish the rest of them this weekend but if they don't improve, I won't be buying the last installmant. A somewhat better novel in this category is CHRIST CLONE TRILOGY. Far and away the best novel of the genre is THE LAST DAY, which is vastly better written and a moving, classic spiritual thriller about the Second Coming.
