This is the sixth book in the Left Behind series. It is also the first one in the series I did not finish in one sitting. It did not flow as well as the others, so as to lend itself to a complete reading in one evening. The book also spends a lot of time re-telling what we read in previous books. I
The book starts in the thirty-eighth month into the tribulation. But most of the characters seem a little too self serving in this book. Allowing their own desires to guide their actions. Whether that desire be derived from rage, revenge, self pity, or even guilt. Rayford spends most of his time focusing on Hattie or his desire to kill the Anti-Christ. Though I do like the description of the handgun that Rayford procures. And when the time comes for the assassination, there are a few characters to chose from.
The book ends in an old time cliff hanger where you are left guessing who it is that assassinated the Anti-Christ. Stay tuned for the next volume. I have read this far, so I will finish the series. Though most people my find this book suspensful, I did not.

Acceptable book that continues the store of Left Behind. 6th in the series. Reading this book 7 years after it was published, I feel that the series is dragging on. I'll keeping reading though.

All of the Left Behind series is provacative, and real page turners. I would recommend these to anyone. I read them about once a year.

The sixth book in this series of the lives and times of the people who were left behind in the rapture. One of the main characters has to place his new found faith to the test when the trials become to much for him. One that they have trusted now becomes suspicious in the ranks of the Tribulation
This was an extremely fast read. I love this series and can't wait to see what Jenkins and LaHaye come up with in the next book in the series. I found this book to be compelling, funny, sad, and scary all at the same time. A definite must read for anyone who likes a suspenseful story yet a quick read. It ranked a 5 out of 5 for me.

I really like the way this book leaves you hanging at the end. Im just glad I waited to read this series after all of the books were written. I will have to read something else while I wait on the next book to arrive (already ordered). So far I have really liked the series. At times it gets a

Assassins takes a different approach, with a slow build-up to the inevitable assassination of the Anti-Christ. Nothing new in that, since the last few entries have held back on the titular catastrophe until the final third, however the twist this time is that the reader has no clue as to who the

assassin will be - and End of Days whodunnit?!. Plenty of red herrings abound as the authors attempt (successfully) not to reveal the endgame. Where Assassins fails to deliver is with the set-pieces, usually well crafted and exciting, they feel flat due to the changes in the central characters and the two-dimensional peripheral cast. The endgame is squeezed in at the end with too much redundant narrative to get there. It's a necessary chapter, however Assassins just feels too padded out. Show Less

I enjoyed the story as fiction. I laughed, cried, fumed, and shouted--all positive things--but I want to temper that strongly by saying that I wouldn't suggest it as theological or eschatological material, as some have. I'm not really concerned with the order and how's of end-time events and

believe we waste too much time trying to figure it out. As Jesus said: "No one knows the times or the seasons, but my heavenly Father." Do worry about it. Live and hope. You don't need to have it all marked out on a calendar.If someone were to ask me what fictional literature I would suggest, this series wouldn't occur to me at all, and I wouldn't suggest it if it did. But, seeing as I have read it (except the last one and the prequels), I felt like I ought to review it. For story, I would give it three stars, maybe four. But my reservations pull that rating down to two. Show Less

This book was slower for me to read than the other ones thus far, however it leaves you with the biggest cliff hanger at the end, I have no choice but to immediatly dive into book 7!!
