The Rising

Before They Were Left Behind

De: Tim LaHaye, Jerry B. Jenkins

Narrado por: Richard Ferrone

New York Times best-selling authors Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins have sold more than 60 million copies of their Left Behind series, the fastest-selling adult fiction series of all time. Now these extraordinarily popular writers unveil the hotly anticipated Countdown to Rapture series, the thrilling saga that leads to the events of the Left Behind books.

Ray Steele is absolutely sure of just one thing, he does not want to take over the family business. Instead, he longs to become a pilot. On the other side of the world, Marilena Carpathia dreams of motherhood. Through genetic engineering, she is about to get her wish. But what she doesn't know is, the prince of darkness himself has chosen her as his vessel, and she is about to give birth to the greatest evil the world has ever known.

Captivating

I picked up The Regime at someone's house and didn't realize it was part of the Left Behind series as a prequel. After I purchased it with an audible credit I was able to switch that to The Rising. Anyway, this book was captivating to say the least. I enjoyed the narration and the story. I can usually predict how things are going to turn out in fiction novels, but this one was quite the challenge and kept me guessing. Now I have to decide if I want to wait to earn another credit for book 2 or if I want to purchase one for 14.00. I probably won't wait! I have to know what happens next! FYI- I've never been interested in the Left Behind series, but now I might have to read all of them!

Review of THE RISING

Liked it very much. Explains the background of the Left Behind Series. The portrayal of the young boy is chilling.

Great Book

Didn’t think I was going to like it but it was good . I love this series so far

Surprisingly good.

Where the last few books of the original series slipped into a la-la land of forced solutions and spread out plotlines to fit the 12 book target, this book feels free of any "pace quota", and I hate to say it, but it's refreshingly dark. Carpathia & co. seemed like charicatures of evil -- Bond villains -- in the original series. Here it's as if the LB world has been re-imagined and the dark side given some teeth. Great litrature? Nope. A page turner... well a "keep-your-iPod-handy" kind of audiobook? Yep.

My favorite series 😍

These books keep me humble & ready for Jesus's return!!! Praise God for the writers, for all their hard work and the actors that brings it to life for most people.
