Publisher's summary

A former war hero designs a weapon the whole world is trying to get their hands on. As world events show signs of the apocalypse, what price will he pay to save his country? From the co-author of the renowned Left Behind series, this epic story chronicles the unfolding end of the world.

Joshua Jordan, former US spy-plane hero now turned weapons designer, has come up with a devastatingly effective new missile defense system—the Return to Sender laser weapon. But global forces are mounting against America, and corrupt White House and Capitol Hill leaders are willing to do anything to stop the nation’s impending economic catastrophe—including selling out Joshua and his weapon.

With help from a group of powerfully connected Christian leaders known as the Patriots, Jordan works to save the nation from economic moral collapse—and to clear his name. As the world events begin setting the stage for the “end of days,” Jordan must consider the personal price to pay if he is to save the nation he loves.

From New York Times best-selling author Tim LaHaye, creator and co-author of the world-renowned Left Behind books, and Craig Parshall, this epic story chronicles the earth-shattering events leading up to the Apocalypse foretold in Revelation.

Another book to make you aware of endtime

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

yes, well written, great suspense, and great subject hidden in the story!

What did you like best about this story?

In this day and time where people act like there is no accountability this brings to focus that there is an accountability that could determine where you spend eternity.

What about Stefan Rudnicki’s performance did you like?

Made it possible to get lost in the characters and the story.

Born again? You'll probably love it.

I wish I had checked the author before buying ... the story is pretty good, but for me, the religiosity - and a very born again religiosity which I personally don't find interesting or attractive, detracted. I'm guessing I bought this in one of those "first books in series" sales and I won't be buying any more. I loved Stefan Rudnicki's narration as usual. It was good enough I listened to the whole thing; it has to be pretty awful for me to stop mid-way through, but the born again stuff ... and the view of politics ... made me cringe too often to really enjoy.

This isn't your typical Christian novel

This book was authored by the writers of the left behind series. Don't let that fool you though, this isn't a sermon disguised by action packed wrapping paper.

This book is fast paced and entertaining. Yes they talk about god, yes they pray. But let's be honest, most of us in these types of situations would be calling out to a higher power so don't fault the characters for that.

When I first started listening to this book the narrator's voices threw me off a bit. It's deep, really deep. It has a distinction to it that I wasn't sure would translate to other character voices well. But I was wrong. It takes a little warm up time but eventually the narrator finds his groove and I was very clearly able to distinguish the different characters. Also, his accent for Russian and middle eastern characters, along with those from Brooklyn is flawless. Job well done!

There is a lot a action in this book, immediately from the start. There's no warm up, get to know you period for the characters. You see these characters in their most vulnerable and it's refreshing. I like that my opinion of the characters is crafted from their reaction to certain events rather than their backstory.

This is part of a series so the ending is a cliffhanger. But that only made me more excited to listen to the next book.

Give this book a chance. Don't let the Christianity part stop you from enjoying a really great story!

#Inspiring

I love this author and this is a great book with good resources. It kept my interest throughout and I couldn't wait to read the next one in the series.

Great Books

I loved the Left Behind series and have missed new ones. This series seem great. This first book have God, Faith, the Bible, action, drama,. And family what more could you ask for?

Great and Exciting Book!

The story was well written, lots of action; I could see this as a movie!

Almost Prophetic

Amazing that this was written in 2010. Sure nailed the media problem! It was an enjoyable book.

Same story different players!

Good series of books! The last book in series they changed narrators, big mistake! This series is not as good as left behind series. I would not buy this again but enjoyed it enough to listen once.

Almost prophetic

It is nearly impossible to think this was released in 2010. it could have been written in 2021 and couldn't be more current.

Pretty Good ... but

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

No..there are better ones out there.

What did you like best about this story?

The suspense. Good plot.

What does Stefan Rudnicki bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

He was ok. Competent.

Any additional comments?

A bit too much "born again" Christian mentality for my taste. Got in the way of the story.
