Our view
“Tribulation Force”, the second “Left Behind” novel, is an end-times thriller rooted in a Christian reading of the Book of Revelation. Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins take the story from a fortnight after the Rapture into the second year of the Tribulation. Some readers feel it moves slowly, as if pacing itself for the many volumes still ahead. It is aimed at readers committed to the whole cycle.
