Even More Apocalyptic.
Tim LaHaye, of “Left Behind” publishing fame, has a new series of books on the way. Bill Berkowitz writes about the series, called “The End,” and the first book, “Edge of Apocalypse” at Talk to Action today. Writes Berkowitz:
Set in the near future, “Edge of Apocalypse,” according to Zondervan, “jumpstarts the series as military-hero-turned-inventor Joshua Jordan attempts to save Manhattan from two nuclear missiles. Using his Return to Sender military defense system, Jordan finds himself facing an unbearable ransom to the nation he loves. As tensions escalate and global alliances topple, only Jordan and a secret group known only as The Patriots can save the United States from terrorists abroad and traitors within. Set in the very near future, The End series chronicles the earth shattering events which eventually lead up to the Rapture and the beginning of the prophesied Last Days of mankind.”
