It wastes no time getting going. In chapter one, we have already witnessed the unexplained dissappearance of millions of people and witnessed the various mammoth results of such an event.

Of course, fans of such books as the Left Behind series will know exactly what the disappearance is. And many other elements along the way will be familiar to readers of such fiction.

However; Johnston "fulfills" these familiar prophetic elements in often unexpected ways. Though there are standard end times fiction components here, this really isn't a standard end times novel.

For one thing, Johnston tries to make his interpretations of the Book of Revelation's apocalyptic imagery "technologically feasable"...

Be warned, Johnston is a Christian but his take on events in this novel are a bit unorthodox. But that was actually the point...

By all means, get this book. It's fantastic reading. But don't expect your typical Christian fiction. Johnston's unique vision of St. John's divine vision will keep you constantly wondering where he's going...

Folks, he will leave you hanging. Johnston admitted himself that he isn't here to preach, just provoke your thoughts. He wants to lead you down a path but let you make your own decision.

Johnston will lead you to the end of the story but the reader himself will have to write "The End".
