Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Apollyon: The Destroyer Is Unleashed, by Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins, is another suspenseful chronicle of those left behind after the rapture of the saved. As the book opens, Hattie Durham, the former airline attendant and mistress of the antichrist, Nicolae Carpathia, is wracked with confusion about what to do with her illegitimate child, whose birth date is coming due. Rayford Steele, the airline pilot who flies Carpathia's plane, is ambivalent about the mounting evidence that his late wife, Amanda, may have been a false believer. Buck, the ace newspaper reporter, and Chloe, his wife, are debating whether to have a child when the future of the world is so uncertain. And all of the world's thousands of believers are gathering in Jerusalem for a stadium rally, which will lead to a showdown with Nicolae Carpathia. Believers are increasingly relying on the Internet for underground communication, and most of them are becoming more and more tempted by violence as a way of battling the forces of evil overtaking the world. But demon locusts are shortly dispatched as a divine plague to attack those who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads; this buys the believers a little bit of time to solve their respective personal crises, all of which end in ways that will keep you riveted until the last page.

    Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

    Dr. Tim LaHaye (www.timlahaye.com), who conceived the idea of fictionalizing an account of the Rapture and the Tribulation, is a noted author, minister, and nationally recognized speaker on Bible prophecy. He is the founder of both Tim LaHaye Ministries and The PreTrib Research Center. He also recently cofounded the Tim LaHaye School of Prophecy at Liberty University. Presently Dr. LaHaye speaks at many Bible prophecy conferences in the U.S. and Canada, where his current prophecy books are very popular.

    Dr. LaHaye holds a doctor of ministry degree from Western Theological Seminary and a doctor of literature degree from Liberty University. For 25 years he pastored one of the nation's outstanding churches in San Diego, which grew to three locations. It was during that time that he founded two accredited Christian high schools, a Christian school system of ten schools, and San Diego Christian College (formerly known as Christian Heritage College).

    Dr. LaHaye has written over 50 non-fiction books and co-authored 25 fiction books, many of which have been translated into 34 languages. He has written books on a wide variety of subjects, such as family life, temperaments, and Bible prophecy. His most popular fiction works, the Left Behind series, written with Jerry B. Jenkins, continue to appear on the best-seller lists of the Christian Booksellers Association, "Publishers Weekly," the "Wall Street Journal," "USA Today," and the "New York Times."

    Another popular series by LaHaye and Jenkins is The Jesus Chronicles. This four-book fiction series gives readers a rich first century experience as John, Mark, Luke, and Matthew recount thrilling accounts of the life of Jesus. Dr. LaHaye is co-author of another fiction series, Babylon Rising. Each of the four titles in this series have debuted in the top 10 on the New York Times best seller list. These are suspense thrillers with thought-provoking messages.

The book is well written but sadly pages are mixed up. For example at page 134 the next page should be 135, but it goes back to page 87 to 134 again but the next page is 183. A lot happened in those missing pages because now I am lost. I hope not all copies of this book have this problem

5.0 out of 5 stars The series rebounds in a big way!
Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 1999

I jumped on board this series early...around the time NICOLAE was released...and read it from the first book forward. I had not previously been a fan of Jenkins' writing; his "Margo Mysteries" of the '80s left a lot to be desired and Frank Peretti was an all-out better read at the time. But with the LEFT BEHIND series, working with Tim LeHaye, not only has Jenkins found his "voice" for fiction, but this series stands head-and-shoulders above Peretti's most recent works. (THE PROPHET was okay, but that last one was a dog.) I'm happy to see the series is speeding up a bit, but more importantly, I'm overjoyed with the amount of action packed into APOLLYON. This was a great read, with the action driving the story forward at a faster clip. Although the first three books were great, to be honest I felt that SOUL HARVEST suffered from too much explaining of the backstory; given that most everyone has read all the books in the series, SOUL HARVEST felt like too much filler, not enough substance. Not so with APOLLYON. The backstory fill-ins are kept to a minimum and even though the length of the series is now projected to be lengthened by 5 books (to 12), it seems the authors are getting more than ever from their fictional realization of the Revelation timeline and how it would look if actually played out against a near-future, contemporary backdrop. To their credit, Nicolae continues to prove a complex, engaging villian. So many "tribulation" novels suffer from two-dimensional characterization of the anti-christ. What makes this series so engaging is the way they put a complex human face on evil. Inspired, no doubt, in no small part by contemporary political figures and their failings, the authors have enough skill to suggest the current occupant of the White House without making blantant comparisons. Keep up the good work, Tim and Jerry, and I'll keep reading!

5.0 out of 5 stars Can't Put it Down
Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2009

This is a wonderful series that I just can't seem to put down. I've read through six books in the series in just over a month. Yes these are fictional books, but they are based on biblical prophesy and it has, in an uncanny way, helped me to begin to understand the end times and why such a loving God would allow such turmoil and destruction. Even those who do not believe should read this series. It is action packed and will take you through all the emotions and bring you close to the characters. I will continue to read the series, as I am excited to read about The Glorious Appearing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great end times reading
Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2014
Verified Purchase
I am loving this series. It is making me realise too just how easily we could be living in end times, it encourages me to watch and wait prayerfully. I know some people have made comments about other series being more biblically correct, but I haven't read those series and I find it quite scriptural. Am already reading the next book and am very pleased that there are a few more good reads awaiting me when I finish the current one.
I am also enjoying being walked through Revelations - the mysterious and yet quite readable and in places flat out bizzare book of the bible, and being reminded of what is to come. Hope there is such thing as the Rapture... debate still rages in Christian circles and I don't have to be one of the ones living through it.

The shipping part is the bad part : we can't get the books all in once but we have to pay the shipping for each one of them… it would be better to pay the shipping just once to make it cheaper (even though the price for one book + shipping is still really low).
I recommend that series!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent read!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 29, 2014
Verified Purchase
As a non-religious person I knew very little about the Christian beliefs concerning the 'Rapture' and 'Christ's Second Coming'. I also felt a series based in religion would hold very little interest for me. How wrong I was!!! The books are fast paced, exciting and real page turners. The characters are believable and you find yourself immersed in their stories, wanting them to survive. I also learnt a huge amount and found myself considering what the Bible foretells, wondering if there actually is some truth to it. The 'Left Behind' series commanded my interest, fascinated me and changed my perspective on religion. I would recommend this series to believers and to those who may be sceptical (like I was) but who are willing to approach this with an open mind and a preparedness to be taught something as well as enjoying a fascinating read. Excellent series and extremely talented authors who know what they're talking about.
