Summary: Intelligent thriller;
Review: An awesome conclusion to the trilogy that will cement your faith! The epic battle between good and evil from The Book of Revelation is transformed into a story that everyone can relate to. Stop waiting for the never-ending Left Behind Books and buy this set all at once, because once you get started you won't be able to put them down.

Summary: A LOOK AT THE NOVELS OF REVELATION
Review: I am a very big fan of novels that deal with the Biblical Apocalypse and, with so many different types, thought it would be worthwhile to give an overview of the ones I have read.
Left Behind, by Tim Lehay- The series that started it all. These novels are, in truth, somewhat boring, but it covers the bases with a depth that none of the others do, probably owing to the fact that there are so many of them. They lack character development and deep theology, but are a fun, if shallow read
The Christ clone Trilogy by James Beauseigneur- Well written novels that focus on the scientific and political. Tom Clancy meets Left behind is not too far off the mark. I greatly enjoyed these books although I felt a little let down by the ending. Overall, a good political take on the End.
We All Fall Down by Brian Caldwell- Certainly the most controversial of these novels. The focus here is the individual and why someone would ever in their right mind reject salvation. Very brutal, although probably more realistic, in its depiction of the End. This is certainly not a book for the timid, but for the rest, I found it the most intelligent, well written, and, oddly enough, spiritual of the bunch. It's hard to walk away from this book with feeling to need to take a fresh look at one's own relationship to Christ.
Blood of Heaven, by Bill Myers- These are intelligent, character focused novels. I found the theology again to be a little weak, but really enjoyed following the distictive characters.
The Last Gentile Trilogy by Cary Bybee- Better written than Left Behind, but lacking the scope of that work. Like conquest of Paradise or Christ clone, it it based in science, but perhaps too much. Not enough religion for my taste.

Summary: Intelligent thriller;
Review: I fell this is a very accomplished writer, we will read great books from him.This book The Final Witness is as good as the first. That is a relief so many series do not follow throw. I would never have believed that this is my kind of thriller, but i'm going to tell you something-the more I read, the more I had to read. In THe Final Witness Cary Bybee has built a world that is rich in fasinating detail, and I could not get enought of it. I am your fan.

Summary: Moderately good series
Review: Moderately good, but not as good as "The Christ Clone Trilogy". I found there were too many characters going in too many directions.
I did like this series better than "Left Behind" which I found at times to be a little bit tedious with all the dramatic rescues, etc.
I have read all three books in this series and while I enjoyed them I couldn't get as caught up in the writing as I did with "Christ Clone".

Summary: Trilogy finishes with a gallop
Review: Strong writing right through to the end. Bybee's strength is his scientific postulating of how the Tribulation judgments will be manifested. Cause and effect were very interesting. Bybee has storylines going all around the world and in orbit of all places. The gospel is preached. Some characters leave the scene without firm indication of what happened to them.... gets one to think. Carlo the Antichrist and Simon are maybe a bit wooden and a little bit like Klink and Schultz of Hogan's Heroes at times. Still it was an exciting read. Just as good as Left Behind and certainly more intellectually challenging as nature self-destructs these last seven years. Start another trilogy, Cary !!
