Left Behind: A Novel of the Earth's Last Days
Left Behind No. 1
Piloting his 747, Rayford Steele is musing about his wife Irene's irritating
religiosity and contemplating the charms of his "drop-dead gorgeous" flight
attendant, Hattie. First Irene was into Amway, then Tupperware, and now
it's the Rapture of the Saints--the scary last story in the Bible in which
Christians are swept to heaven and unbelievers are left behind to endure
the Antichrist's Tribulation. Steele believes he'll put the plane on autopilot
and go visit Hattie. But Hattie's in a panic: some of the passengers have
disappeared! The Rapture has happened, abruptly driverless cars are crashing
all over, and the slick, sinister Romanian Nicolae Carpathia plans to use
the UN to establish one world government and religion. Resembling "a young
Robert Redford" and silver-tongued in nine languages, Carpathia is named
People's "Sexiest Man Alive." (This reviewer, a former People writer, finds
this plot twist plausible.) Meanwhile, Steele teams up with Buck Williams,
a buck-the-system newshound, to form the Tribulation Force, an underground
of left-behind penitents battling the Antichrist.
Ex-presidential candidate Pat Robertson briefly outsold Michael Crichton
with his apocalypse novel The End of the Age (now available on audiocassette),
and the similar The Third Millennium sells well, but the Left Behind series
is the absolute champion in the race to make the Book of Revelation into
racy thriller reading. --Tim Appelo
