I should add that it becomes clear during book one that all is not going as prophesied by John, Daniel, and the other prophets.

Nineteen chapters of Revelation converted to notes, including the defeat of the Antichrist and the False Prophet. Satan's defeat is next. Only three chapters to go!

The bad news is that the Catholic study guide I'm using says that the defeat of Satan and his minions is a spiritual battle, not a physical one. Jesus slays the opposing armies with a sword coming out of his mouth (i.e. the word of God). They didn't convert in spite of countless disastrous warnings from God (seven seals, seven trumpets, seven woes), so I'm guessing seeing a preacher-king on a white horse isn't going to hold much sway either. Interestingly, Jesus arrives from heaven with his armies of angels and followers, yet He personally slays the armies of the world by himself. So why the show of force?

Protestant Dispensationalists interpret Revelation as involving a real battle on Armageddon, so the Catholic interpretation is rather anticlimactic, which isn't what you want at the end of a trilogy. Needs work.

P.S. New title for the book series: Satan's Last Stand. Seems like it might be an equally appealing title to Christians and non-Christians. Requiem for Heaven and Earth was a little too obscure given that many Christians don't understand the imagery behind Revelation. Some parishes don't even like to teach it out of fear of scaring Christians.

Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale, a tale of a fateful trip
That started from this topic port aboard this tiny ship
The mate was a mighty sailing man, the skipper brave and sure
Five passengers set sail that day on a three hour tour

Of course it begs the question why the Howells, Ginger, and even Maryanne brought enough clothes to dress differently for almost ever episode. Also, why did Thurston bring a trunk full of cash? Plot holes!

A tyrant named Donnell who wants to conquer the U.S.and set up a dictatorship? Does he hold military parades? :-)

"I like the way it reads." :-)

Amen!

I read it this morning. The closest I found to a usable title was Doomed to Flames. Meh.

Looks like we have a winner: Requiem for Heaven and Earth. Revelation mentions that the old heaven and the old earth pass away.

Although more poetic than evil sounding, I like it better than mine.

Thanks.

Son of a... Eve of the Apocalypse doesn't show up under Amazon books, but it's the name of a Warcraft game.

Thanks. Unfortunately none of those draw me in, especially since few people will know what the foreign words mean.
Why "eye" of the Antichrist? I should add that it's only the first book that focuses primarily on the Antichrist. After that, it's more of an ensemble, including the False Prophet, Satan, and in the 3rd book, Christ.

I agree about the difficulty of trying to review more experienced writers. I often find I have little to add, except for an occasional missing comma or confusing description. I've done plenty of reviews where I find fewer than 5 things to comment on, so I don't meet the minimum to receive points. I have a bazillion points already, so that doesn't matter to me. One thing I try to do is give more reviews to experienced writers, so what I lack in quality I make up for in quantity. Granted, I accumulate lots of points, but I tell the recipients of my reviews why I do it.
