The Young Trib Force must deal with Carpathia's strike against the militia and the beginning of World War 3.

Amazon.com Review

Could it possibly get any more exciting than the action in Busted! (Book 7 in the Left Behind: The Kids series)? Well, hold onto your Bibles: Vicki's made it out of the detention center because she's been adopted by a foster family... none other than Pastor Bruce himself. And the Young Trib Force, still committed to spreading the truth about the Rapture and the rise of the antichrist (a.k.a. U.N. Secretary-General Nicolae Carpathia), adds its newest member, Chaya, a young Jewish evangelist. And you'll think things can't get any crazier after Judd's daring graduation speech--broadcast live on CNN, no less--but think again: one of the main characters slips into a coma, and the fate of that beloved Trib Force fighter remains unclear until after the nukes(!) stop dropping.

The Evangelical Christian science fiction series Left Behind: The Kids is a youth-oriented storyline based on Jerry B. Jenkins and Tim LaHaye's bestselling Left Behind. (Ages 9 to 12) --Paul Hughes

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for younger fans of Left Behind, April 14, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Death Strike (Left Behind: The Kids) (Vol 8) (Mass Market Paperback)

I first read the entire adult series of Left Behind, and loved it. Despairing that I'd have to wait sooo long for the next book, I read the Kids series, and enjoyed it as well. I think these books are wonderful for people to read, especially the younger ones who wouldn't be interested in reading the 400 plus pages in the adult series. However, for older fans of the Kids series who haven't read the other set, I would definitely recommend reading those as well. The characters from both series interact, and although the Kids series fits its readers' age group well, readers get a lot more of what's happening in the adult version. I may sound a bit partial to the adult series, but that's probably because I read them first and I'm dying to get the seventh book. I am looking forward to the 9th and 10th of the kids series (so is my brother, who's just started reading them). By the way, they will be #9 The Search and #10 On the Run for those who are interested in the future coming titles. Hope I haven't confused anyone about the kids and adults books.

This review is from: Death Strike (Left Behind: The Kids) (Vol 8) (Mass Market Paperback)

"Left Behind: The Kids #8 Death Strike" is based on the best-selling book, "Left Behind." It is the story of four young friends going through the Rapture and Tribulation. This book has it all: action, adventure, death, romance, and even that high school speech we all dread. The authors are Jerry B. Jenkins, and Tim Lahaye, and this is their newest book in a series of 48. I have enjoyed all eight and cannot wait for #9 ("The Search") and #10 ("On the Run"), comming in May of 2000.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hooked on Left Behind, October 10, 2003

This review is from: Death Strike (Left Behind: The Kids) (Vol 8) (Mass Market Paperback)

Death Strike is the 8th book in the LBTK series, and probably the most crammed, adventure filled book, in the whole series to date (#32, and counting).
We last left off with Vicki being taken back to Northside Detention Center. After a run-in with trouble, Vicki is left injured within the first few pages, and recieves word that there is someone that would like to adopt her! Who could it be, and will she want to go with them? Also, Vicki finds friendship within a girl named Janie, but wonders if she will ever believe the truth.
Meanwhile, back home, Judd, Lionel, and Ryan are left amazed through the teachings of Pastor Bruce Barnes. With new security measures being brought up within Nicolae High, can they really risk bringing back "The Underground", since they have witnessed the trouble it can bring?
With the return of a new friend, Judd decides to travel to Israel with Bruce, but when a mysterious illness strikes the pastor, the Young Trib Force is left to deal with the loss of a great friend, and the disapperance of another. World Word 3 begins, and it's going to be a rocky ride.
Truly a favorite in the series, Death Strike delivers and really set the standards I've put the series up to. Always suspensful, and always inpirational, this series is one that you can't afford not to read.
