Summary: A DEFT PROFESSIONAL READING
Comment: He comes from an acting family (Robert Culp is his father and actor Joseph Culp is his younger brother), yet voice performer Jason Culp has proved his mettle on his own with a continuing series of superior readings. He hits a homer again with this thriller based on biblical prophecies.
The collaboration of Mr. LaHaye and veteran suspense writer Greg Dinallo is a fortuitous one as each brings unique gifts to the telling of this story.
Fans of Mr. LaHaye's Left Behind Series will stand in line for "Babylon Rising" and recent admirers will be won over by a new hero, Michael Murphy, a Biblical prophecy scholar of a different sort. No poring through musty manuscripts for him in the comfort of office or home but he's out in the field on archaeological digs searching for and testing ancient artifacts.
Of, course, knowing Mr. LaHaye that's not all his protagonist does - he also discovers what may well signal the end of the human race as we know it.
Listen and begin an unforgettable journey.

Summary: Can I give it zero stars?
Comment: Okay. Please someone who liked this book tell me what LaHaye was thinking? Tell me what the publishers were thinking to buy this thing. This has got to be the worst book I've read in quite some time and, with the number of books I put away, that's saying something.
I can't think of where to begin. The bad guys are so cliched in their speech and machinations. "Talon" is so one dimensional he makes the letters on the page look well-rounded. The lectures LaHaye gives the reader via Michael Murphy are laughable. I've been on Easter egg hunts more difficult than Murphy's "archeological digs" (come on he finds the first thing in less than a day of looking?!?!?). I won't go on. Really. There is a lot wrong with this book--poor editing, bad dialogue, trite situations.
I usually do not rant like this about a bad book but good grief. People are actually reading this drivel (and The Da Vinci Code which is just as badly written) and taking their theological and eschatological viewpoints from it!!!! The least he could do is at least try to write as good a novel as the first Left Behind book (they went downhill fast, IMO, and please don't get me started on them.)
For the record, I am a Christian and have no problem with good Christian fiction. There is a lot of it out there. This isn't it.

Summary: Left Out, Not Left Behind
Comment: I am an Evangelical Christian Believer and read all of the Left Behind series. Bablon Rising was quite a disappointment. The relic searches were too easy and too much time spent with the evil villans. This is just a teaser to read more in the series, with no idea of how many books will be coming to reach a conclusion.
The editors were lax...on page 20 of the hard cover editon, it states, "Murphy kept a touch light on the accelerator...", which should read, "Murphy kept a light touch on the accelerator..."
Also, on page 231, first paragraph, the biblical reference shows II Kings 18:23, should be II Kings 18:4.
Tim LaHaye is a wonderful person and author, but he did not get the help he needed from the coauthor or his publisher.
Before spending $26 on the next book about Ararat, I will check the Amazon.com reviews.
