Publisher's summary

The Left Behind series is one of the greatest successes in the history of publishing, with each of the 12 original novels and the first prequel all cracking the New York Times best seller list. All together, more than 60 million copies of the books are in print, meaning they comprise the fastest-selling adult fiction series of all time. Phenomenally popular authors Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins gave their devoted fans what they wanted, more, when The Rising began the Before They Were Left Behind series, the thrilling saga that leads to the events of the original books. Now The Regime propels the story forward.

As the Antichrist continues to rise, Rayford, Buck and Chloe live their lives unaware that the globe is hurtling toward the Rapture. But when events in Israel heat up, the drama intensifies, and humankind steps ever closer to the seven years of Tribulation.

Critic reviews

"Among the best-selling fiction books of our times, right up there with Tom Clancy and Stephen King." (Time)

great

book was great. looking forward to reading next book. always like the left behind books.

Delightful

What I love most about this series is the character development. As the series progresses, you are invested in the characters as if they are friends, or enemies, you have known for years.

I love the imagination and and creativity and the realities

I loved
The whole series
HIGHLY RECOMMEND, I know it is fiction but if you read your bible this book brings pictures to those precious words!! So creative and suspense and tearful! It has ALL THE THINGS

Bravo! Well Done!

What can I say. Every book in the Left Behind Series is superb! This is no exception. The Regime is the second part to the Before they were Left Behind Novels. It provides the backstory to the characters and events that led up to the Rapture. The narrator is excellent! His voice is smooth and convincing.

Noises

The noises this guy makes while talking is disgusting. I think he needs to drink water or something. His reading is pretty good, besides the gross noises. Although he makes the girl voices sound pathetic.

Fabulous

I can listen to the over and over again. It’s written well and keeps your attention.

Awesome

The whole series is awesome as a truck driver I get to listen to a lot of books and the left behind series I listen to over and over. Jack Sondereker does the best performance of the 3 that perform these books but Richard Ferrone does great and his voices and inflection keep you tense for the next word

Loved the story.....not so much the narrator

Hats off to LaHaye and Jenkins for a great series! I was very impressed with the story and the conversations in regards to salvation and the bible references are spot on. I loved the character development throughout the story, but was not impressed with the narrator. While his expression and character voices were very good, there was an intermittent sound in the narration that sounded like he was eating something. Whether he was or not, it was detracting from the experience. I would have stopped listening, had the story not been so riveting. Luckily, I found the next installment with a different narrator. I plan on reading the Left Behind series on my Kindle, unless I can find them with another narration.

Where is jack sondericker?

I have listened to the entire left behind series to this point and love how jack narrates the books. Very disappointed in the different narrator used in this book. If the story wasn't so good I would have stopped listening to this book. It sounds like this guy is chewing on something because you hear an annoying sound as he talks. Not sure why the change but the story is worth the displeasure of the audio.

Remembering first read of original series.

It is interesting to get additional background on familiar characters. I thoroughly enjoyed the books years ago. Guess I have further reading to go.
