Synopsis

As the world's thousands of believers gather in Jerusalem for a stadium rally, the Tribulation Force struggles with their own personal crises. Newspaper reporter Buck Williams and his wife, Chloe, question whether or not they should have a child when the future of the world is so uncertain. Meanwhile, Rayford Steele discovers the shocking truth about his wife, Amanda.
Nicolae Carpathia continues his rise to power, forcing believers underground. But Nicolae isn't prepared for a plague of scorpion-like locusts tormenting his followers--with a pain so horrible that men try to kill themselves but aren't allowed to die.
A repackage of the fifth book in the New York Times best-selling Left Behind series.

About this title

From the Author:

By popular demand...
In Apollyon, the truth about Amanda is revealed, both Hattie's and Chloe's pregnancies are resolved, and the chief demon of the abyss (Apollyon) leads the greatest plague so far upon survivors of the Tribulation. The comment year between books in the Left Behind series? Can't you write faster?" Apollyon is the first response to that demand. This fifth book is the first to appear so soon after its predecessor and begins a two-books-per-year plan (a new release every February and August) that will continue until at least 2002, for a total of at least 12 titles in the series. Tyndale House tells us they are releasing 700,000 hardbacks of Apollyon; a 12-part Left Behind radio drama will be aired in 1999; and the Left Behind movie is in the scriptwriting stage. The idea for the series was Dr. LaHaye's, and he cheerleader. He believes Apollyon is the best so far, and while I'm too close to it to be a fair judge, I'd like to believe he's right. We'll be watching Amazon.com's reviews to see what you think.

From the Back Cover:

Killer locusts attack humans, livestock, crops. Fatal mystery toxin turns water to blood. One-World Faith leaders tighten security.

"Tell me, Captain Steele. Do you still believe that a man who has been known to raise the dead could actually be the Antichrist?"

With those chilling words, Global Community leader Nicolae Carpathia prepares to unleash a new depth of evil on the world. As thousands of believers gather for a conference in the Holy Land, is Carpathia's pledge of protection evidence of his much-touted tolerance--or a lie? Pilot Rayford Steele must maintain a charade of loyalty while desperately seeking the truth about his late wife. Was Amanda truly a traitor to the Tribulation Force or the victim of a smear campaign? Meanwhile Buck Williams, now an international fugitive, risks his life to carry out the Trib Force's top-secret missions in a world rocked by demonic catastrophes.

Apollyon is #5 in the phenomenal New York Times best-selling Left Behind series that rocked the publishing world and made millions think seriously about the future and their places in it.

With special features relating to current events and end-times prophecy.
