Amazon.co.uk Review
The Antichrist is dead. Or is he? The city of Chicago lies in ruins. The safe house is blown, and the Global Community police are hot on the heels of the Tribulation Force. And who assassinated Nicolae Carpathia?

It's a formidable challenge to keep an audience's attention midway through a projected 12-volume series, but with its trademark blend of humour and gripping suspense, authors Jerry Jenkins and Tim LaHaye continue to captivate readers in The Indwelling, the seventh instalment of the Left Behind series.

Carpathia's funeral takes a hair-raising turn for the four million people who attend. Over the crowd looms the centrepiece of a new world religion, a 24-foot bronze statue of Carpathia, belching black smoke and demanding obedience. Woven through the fast-paced drama are the ongoing stories of people struggling amidst the mayhem. Chloe Williams wrestles with the moral implications of whether to kill her toddler Kenny to avoid having him fall into enemy hands; her father Rayford Steele is brought face-to-face with the consequences of his pride; Dr. Chaim Rosenzweig, a prominent Jewish Israeli statesman, ponders a conversion to Christianity.

The strength of the series is in Jenkins' ability to keep the action moving and readers caring about the characters. And there's a hook: the end of The Indwelling promises "If the last three and a half years are your idea of tribulation, wait until you endure the Great Tribulation." The bad news is just beginning. But, the Tribulation Force believes, the good news is also on the way. --Cindy Crosby--Amazon.com

Synopsis
The second half of the seven-year Tribulation era begins as Rayford, Buck, Chloe, and the other members of the Tribulation Force reveal who killed Nicolae as the time of God's judgement approaches.

Best End times series
Having recently read Glen Kelier's The Last Day I am reinsured of the intensity and reality of this series. Revelation has obviously been studied carefully and this is the author's interpretation it has helped me think about revelation for myself. I read The Last Day expecting simular reading but got new messiahs and warped use of the bible. Defiently the better read!

The best so far!
Apart from the unique experience of book one, I think that this is the best so far. Rayford is finally freed from being 'angry- person', and so is able to stop being so self possessed (if still a little on the chauvinist side!), and the other characters interact really well, leaving you with an intense longing for book eight! Without giving the entire plot away, I thought for a while that the sculpture was going to be the re-incarnation, but I'm sure, having re- (and re-... and re-...!) read Revelation, that the sculpture will get a star role later in the series! You know you have to buy it!

Please!
If this is what passes for a good read these days, God help us all! If you want a book that covers the topic of the End Times AND is intelligent and thought-provoking to boot, read Glen Kleier's THE LAST DAY. It is the definitive, final word on the subject, and possibly one of the best suspense thrillers ever written on escatological themes. It doesn't follow the standard fundamentalist screed of these "Left Behind" lightweights. If you want some real End Days scare and fright, mixed with wit, humor and insight, read LAST DAY instead.
