THE REMNANT On the Brink of Armageddon

Later books in the Left Behind series have been increasingly thin in plot development and characterization, and Number 10 follows this trend. A nuclear bomb dropped on the Tribulation Force's Petra sanctuary and a few more Revelationary plagues are plausible and believable, but the increasing number of shallow characters drags down the old faithfuls. Richard Ferrone's performance reflects the overall quality of the writing, as it lacks some of his earlier thoughtfulness in characterization. Still, Ferrone's reading offers great pace, consistent accents, and as much enthusiasm as anyone could muster. Let's hope the authors pick up their part of the burden in the next installment.
