About this ebook

An airborne Boeing 747 is headed to London when, without any warning, passengers mysteriously disappear from their seats. Terror and chaos slowly spread not only through the plane but also worldwide as unusual events continue to unfold. For those who have been left behind, the apocalypse has just begun.
A repackage of the New York Times best-selling novel Left Behind.

Now a major motion picture starring Nicolas Cage!

Ratings and reviews

Left Behind is not just about faith. It's about survival at when the last seven years of Earth begin. Hence the full title, Left Behind: A Novel of Earth's Last Days. The book has what you would expect in this book. Good and likable characters. Drama. A bit of budding, potential romance. Mystery. A well-written villain. I would definitely recommend this book, especially if you like books about the end of the world.

The book has a good sense of looming doom and takes the Apocalypse to a literal biblical level. Great read for action and suspense. I'm even Atheist and I like reading this book. The only flaws are the huge religious intolerance and attacks on Judaism and liberal secularism. Basically if you're not Protestant then this book denies your every belief

I am proud to be atheist and have no problem defending my opinion on religion, but as a novel no matter the background this kills it. I am excited for the upcoming film and sorta liked the Kirk Cameron one. The two men who wrote this book should be awarded for their storytelling as even a hardcore atheist is in love with the Left Behind series...
