Fuse of Armageddon by Sigmund Brouwer & Hank Hanegraaf

I read the majority of this novel while on vacation. And it went past that even. Fuse of Armageddon is a large/long novel.

In a nutshell, this the response to the Left Behind series. Where Left Behind talks about the biblical end times as if they were to happen on our lifetime, Fuse of Armageddon speaks on the idea that it has already happened a long time ago. And the people who believe Left Behind theology could actually cause much more destruction than they realize.

Mulvaney Quinn is a hostage negotiator whose wife and daughter were killed when a suicide bomber destroyed the bus they were on. He is called in to speak to the terrorist who kidnapped a group of Christians when they were touring Israel.

What Quinn doesn't know is that there are powerful men pulling the strings behind-the-scenes who want to see their vision for Israel and Palestine come true.

If their plan succeeds, life would forever change on this planet.

While not as pop culture as Left Behind was, this story does give the reader a different look on how religion plays a part in our dealings with the Middle East.

If you can get past the length, Fuse of Armageddon is a nice "beach" read.
