This is the seventh book in the Left Behind series. The last book ended with the so-called Antichrist being assassinated and us not sure who was responsible. Here we begin with an influx of 4 million people into New Babylon to morn the passing of Carpathia.

His body is laid in state within a

vacuum-sealed Plexiglas coffin. So all may pass and view him. His funeral is set up three days after his death. While the millions who are present watch along with the world on a non-stop TV broadcast, Carpathia rises from the dead. This is where the title of the book comes from, for Carpathia is now suppose to be the indwelt, Satan incarnate.

Carpathia breaks his way out of his sealed coffin to stand in front of the multitude. He stands and starts by using the very words of Jesus, and then switches to those of his own. Warning that all who do not worship him will know that a Tribulation is truly coming.

Mean while, the Tribulation Force members are doing all they can to get back to their home base in the USA. A home base that has been compromised. We watch the race between them race against the GC Peace Keeping forces.

I would like again like to add, that this is not a series you could pick up in the middle. This book will not stand-alone. And though the writing is not the best, it still makes you want to see what comes next.

This book is much better than Assasins (Book #6) in the series. Lahaye and Jenkins get this series back on track with a book that I was unable to put down. I can't wait to read the next book in the series.

All of the Left Behind books are provacative and page turning. I read them all at least once a year.

While reading the last book, Assassins, I started to get bored with the story plot just a little, but after The Indwelling, I am back in the game, my interest is once again at its peak with this series. I think taking a break after the first half of this series helped me. I read a few quick reads

Whereas the last few entries in this epic series regarding the End of Days have been somewhat wearisome, The Indwelling offers both lighter and darker tones in equal amounts and is ultimately more refreshing for it. The witty banter evidences the authors having some fun and just in time to save the

Left Behind series from becoming a chore. The action takes a back burner, although there is still one memorable set piece, and the focus is twofold. Initially there is still the big reveal regarding the Assassination from the last book and in the other two thirds there is the set-up and execution of the Indwelling - the transference of Satan. With some unforeseen twists along the way The Indwelling is interesting from start to close with plenty of adventure and intrigue. There are still some characters with too much seemingly redundant narrative, building them up for future parts, however considering there is no big finale the authors have produced a decent mid-series book.
