Summary: End of State
Comment: This book is faithful to the Left Behind series. It is well written and was a fast read. There were some really moving parts where the author touches a nerve inside me where I can relate to what is happpening in the book, to my own life experiences. Fans of the Left Behind series will be right at home with this book. I can't wait for the next one.

Summary: A Great New Spin on the Rapture Story
Comment: If Left-Behind takes the entire worldview of the events that occur after the Rapture, then End of State zooms in on America. Political operative turned romance writer, Neesa Hart takes the apocalyptic series in a whole new direction with a solid page-turner.
End of State offers a new spin on the Left-Behind theme, while still keeping some of the main characters, such as the evil Nicolae Carpathia and the genius Chaim Rosenzwieg in the background.
Hart introduces three central figures, each of whom holds enormous political clout and forsook a chance to accept Christ before the Rapture. White House chief of staff Brad Benford is a token evangelical in an administration of liberals. He experiences the loss of his entire family in the disappearings, causing him to realize his real purpose during the Tribulation period.
Marcus is a preacher/activist who said all the right things, but failed to accept Christ for himself. It's hard to believe someone could not only have been exposed to the truth but also advocated it and yet missed the Rapture.
And lastly Mariette Arnold is an assistant director of FEMA, the federal disaster agency charged with cleaning up disasters. Nothing Arnold has experienced can even match the devastation of the Rapture.
Hart does a good job of describing the Washington power struggle, where truth is buried well beneath politics and posturing. Having experienced it herself, she brings to light what we could have only imagined: how Washington will react when 1/3 of the world is missing.
Her writing is tight, her characters extremely cerebral, the dialogue honest and human. She doesn't delve into apocalyptic what-ifs, but presents a very realistic portrayal of what honestly could happen.
The only drawback is the slight confusion around the Gospel-what exactly is it that makes a person a Christian. Is it God's grace or the living of the life?
Nevertheless, Hart has produced a first-rate thriller sure to keep you on the edge of your seat and sure to get your mind running with scenarios of how America will react when this great event, the Rapture, occurs.

Summary: Great Companion to the Left Behind Series
Comment: This was a great read. For fans of the Left Behind Series, End of State fills in some of the missing pieces, by showing other people's reactions to the same events that occurred in Left Behind. Since the Rapture had such an impact on the U.S. in Left Behind, it's great to read about the reaction by Washington insiders. It's also interesting to learn more about the power plays between the U.S. President and Carpathia. The characters are intersting; I look forward to reading more about them in future books.
