About this title

Review

Is it right to kill Satan's hit man? Would it help God's work? This installment in the Left Behind series picks up with Rayford Steele--"believer" and international fugitive--as he struggles with a plan to assassinate Antichrist Nicolae Carpathia. Meanwhile, Carpathia has been busy rebuilding roads, airports, and a cellular/solar satellite phone system--all designed to help him become supreme ruler of the world--and even claim himself to be God. We also find ace reporter Buck Williams anonymously preaching to the masses of believers and converts through his cyberspace magazine The Truth. All the believers in the safe house, including Buck, Doc, Chloe, and Tsion, are suspicious of Hattie--former mistress of Carpathia--who claims to be a believer but may have already compromised their secret location when she tried to buy her way to Europe months before.

Fans of the series won't be disappointed. Jenkins's signature writing is at full force. Readers can count on a suspenseful plot, imaginative futuristic thinking, and familiar characters, all of which appear in the opening pages and are sustained until the last cliffhanger scene when God unleashes another earth-shattering disaster.

From the Back Cover

Earthquake rocks Israel; thousands dead. Staggering death count baffles authorities. Millions claim visions of demonic horsemen.

Pressure builds within the Tribulation Force’s safe house as Rayford Steele’s rage against Global Community leader Nicolae Carpathia nears the boiling point. He vows to dethrone Carpathia, plotting his assassination. As the Tribulation Force grieves one much-loved member and acquires a new convert, Rayford is haunted by suspicions that one of the team will betray the others to Carpathia’s henchmen.

Will the Trib Force be brought down by fire, smoke, sulfur, and snakes―or by one of their own? Meanwhile, having escaped the slick Global Community–run media empire, Buck Williams churns out copies of The Truth, a cyberspace magazine that feeds millions of readers hungry for the Word of God, as enemy powers gather for a decadent celebration of the new world order.

Assassins is #6 in the phenomenal New York Times best-selling Left Behind series that rocked the publishing world and made millions think seriously about the future and their places in it.

With special features relating to current events and end-times prophecy.
