Judd and Lionel voyage to Jerusalem for the Meeting of the Witnesses, hoping that Nicolae will keep his promise that those who attend will be safe, while the kids at the schoolhouse discover a secret underground passage.

In the versions of the adult Left Behind series, those "left behind" when the true believers disappear in the Rapture include four teenagers who then find Christ. Jenkins and LaHaye know how to maintain suspense. They deftly cross-cut scenes and roll the action at a Gary Paulsen-like pace. While readers don't have to share the characters' faith to enjoy these page-turners, the appeal is definitely not universal.

By Skies the story line has reached Revelation 8:12, and the sun, moon and stars lose one-third of their light. Will the kids holed up in a remote schoolhouse be able to power their generator?
