About this audiobook

The final prequel will have the Rapture three-quarters of the way through the book and then following characters such as Irene and Raymie (and others) up to heaven and being able to see events in the Tribulation from heaven's perspective. The book will alternate between focusing on events on earth immediately after the Rapture (covering lots of things the authors wished they could have covered in the original volumes) and focusing on characters in heaven and how they view the chaotic events on earth.

Ratings and reviews

Not as good as the full cast ear movie style that the regular series is. But engaging enough it keeps you enthralled. However, at least in my download, there are a few dead spots in chapter 13. About 8-10 seconds in length each time where the story keeps going but you hear no sound. The audio just cuts off and it's kinda static. It's not a lot missed but kind of annoying when the audio keeps coming in and out.
