Review by: RB O'Gorman on March 05, 2013 :
A Catholic "Left Behind." Randy England is a great story-teller and has crafted a compelling, edge-of-your-seat rollercoaster ride. In the style of John Grisham, the novel's biggest strength is an engaging plot that drives you to the end. My only criticism is that I'm not a huge fan of omniscient point of view, but this is probably the only style that would work for this book that covers the globe and takes us from the arrival of the antichrist to the end of the world. Very interesting work.
