This review is from: The Showdown (Left Behind: The Kids #13) (Mass Market Paperback)

The Young Trib Force has just faced God's latest Judgement, and now all four are seperated and must find a way back to each other.
Judd mourns the loss of a new friend, and tries to stay alive. He is captured by a group of GC fanatics, and must make a hard decision and risk his safety to tell a woman about the truth.
Vicki finally makes it back to Mount Prospect and reunites with some friends. Vicki worries about Ryan, and is on a frantic search for him. Where could he have gone?
Lionel was hit on the head, and now can't remember anything. He discovers a Bible, and through his new friend Conrad, tries to dsicover who he was. Through a series of drills, the two, along with Melinda and Felica head up a new unit of GC known as Morale Moniters and return to Illinois. Could the answers he is searching for be there?
Meanwhile, Ryan suffers a painful injury and fights for his survival. Is this be the end here on earth for the youngest member of the Young Trib Force?
Just a warning: this is an emotional book, and you should have a box of tissues ready! I loved this book, and the plot really fit together, and charcter development has grown so much through the series, you become so emotionally attached, its hard to let anyone go. This is one of my very favorites in the series, and if you've read the books so far, you need to get this one! The cliffhanger at the end is just wonderful, and I suggest buying book 14 along with it!

Fast reading for myself (adult) and my 2 children 10 & 11 years old. Great continuation of the series. Start reading with book #1 of the series, they get better with each book. Or better yet, start with the Left Behind Movie.

I loved the book so much that I couldn't put it down. I read it in less then 24 hours and I am a slow reader. I highly encourage you to read this book. It is safe to read because both the authors are strong Christians and the book is Bible based.
