Things we learn from reading a LaHaye book:
The U.N. is ultimately an evil entity.
If you're from Romania, there's a good chance you might be the anti-Christ.
It's not good to be Russian either as they will always be the failed attacker of Israel.
If you are a feminist, believe in global warming and wear your hair short (as a girl), you will be evil as well.
This book doesn't hide the fact that it's anti-liberalism.
As with LaHaye's other novels, these characters are one dimensional. I understand this isn't the fault of LaHaye but it is interesting that his writing partners have the same style of writing easy-read summer books.
The political intrigue is a new twist on the End Times/Rapture tale but, by the end of this book, you'll imagine you're re-reading the Left Behind books. It goes so far as to claim the anti-Christ will be Romanian and that he will want to create New Babylon.
Even if you don't agree with Rapture/LaHaye theology and can deal with the light character development, this book is still only slightly entertaining. I'm not sure if the third book will even be worth a glance as I'm guessing we'll read more the same ala Left Behind.
