In the second installment of The End series, not even Joshua Jordan's anti-nuclear technology can stop global events moving to catastrophic as terrorist missiles take down an American plane and a bomb explodes in the Mall of America.

Joshua Jordan’s reputation is on the line when his controversial anti-nuclear system fails to protect a commercial flight as it takes off from Chicago and is shot down by a terrorist missile. The government is taking no chances and starts an investigation of Joshua’s entire defense program. The Israelis, longtime allies of the United States, are desperate for the technology. When Joshua flies to the Middle East to assure them of the Return to Sender reliability, he is captured by Iranians who want the secret for the defense tool for their own use.

With Joshua out of the country, Abigail Jordan is left in charge of the Roundtable and sets out to defend her husband to the media and to the commission set up to investigate RTS. But America is under attack—a bombing in the Mall of America and rumors of even more potential atrocities have this covert team desperate to find additional bombs before they are set off.

As world events begin setting the stage for the “end of days” foretold in Revelation, Joshua Jordan must weigh the personal price he must pay to save the nation he loves.

From New York Times bestselling author Tim LaHaye, creator and co-author of the world-renowned Left Behind books, and Craig Parshall, this epic series chronicles the earth-shattering events leading up to the Apocalypse foretold in Revelation.

    This work shamelessly panders to right wingnuts who live and die with the Rush Limbaugh and Faux News daily talking points. Frankly it's enough to make you sick. It exploits the increasingly disenfranchised angry white reader by stoking his or her conspiracy theory fears. They include: how the politicians (read the President and his weak-kneed administration) aren't protecting the country's "real patriots" who it turns out have pretty fascist tendencies - after all, they know best what's right for their, I mean "our" country. How North Korea, Iran, and what the heck, Russia are in cahoots and trying to detonate a nuclear bomb in our midst. How the Administration wants to prosecute the "real patriots." Some of which are holed up in their Colorado silo, I mean mansion, called "Hawks Nest." There's plenty of military nonsense throughout this novel with plenty of "yes sirs," and "no sirs" which glorify the "real patriots." I'm not one to rain on anyone's religous beliefs, but the "end of times" blather (Is this actually Christian stuff?) runs all through this piece. Really, the whole concoction has a distinct fascist subtext which no real American should be able to stomach, the religious overtones notwithstanding.
