This
novel got off to a rough start for me although I did like it in the
end. Readers are introduced to a number of people at the beginning
and it was difficult for me to understand how they knew each other
and the purpose of their camping adventure. The information
eventually came out but I would have liked more background material
woven into the first few chapters.
Kohler
has written a good story of the end times. Once the story got going a
bit and the role of various characters became clear, the story moved
well. It was interesting to see how Kohler imagines the events
predicted in Revelation. It seemed very possible to me. And the best
part of the novel is that there is no rapture at the beginning of the
tribulation to whisk Christians out of possible trouble.
Other
than the lack of explanatory information, this is a good novel about
the end days. Christians familiar with Revelation will understand the
events. Those not familiar with Revelation may not find enough
information included to truly understand all that goes on. There is a
message of salvation near the end that could have been a little
clearer.
My
rating: 4/5 stars.
