About this audiobook

The Tribulation calendar moves ever closer to the halfway point, which the two witnesses call “the due time.” Meanwhile, the fourth Trumpet Judgement strikes the solar system, crippling life on earth. The next three judgements are to be so much worse than anything that has come before that an angel flies about heaven, warning the earth of the three woes. The fifth Trumpet Judgement, a plague of scorpionlike locusts led by Apollyon, chief demon of the abyss, is so horrifying that men try to kill themselves but are not allowed to die.

    In this Young Adult dystopia, it is the year 2150, and life has gotten much worse for women. When a girl turns sixteen (or “sex-teen” as it is known), she gets an XVI tattooed on her wrist. This means she is now legal sex bait for anyone who can get to her. As the protagonist Nina Oberon explains: "We’re all supposed to be so excited about sex and willing to do whatever with practically any guy who asks.”But Nina has differing views than most girls about turning sixteen. Her best friend Sandy, who pays constant attention to the propaganda, can’t wait: "Sex has got to be the most ultra thing in the galaxy!”Even Nina’s eleven-year-old sister Dee is excited about it: "All the verts [advertisements] tell you how popular you’ll be if you dress and act so boys want to have sex with you.”Nina, on the other hand, is not looking forward to having sex. She has seen the state-approved videos, but she has also seen the porn kept by her mother’s abusive boyfriend Ed, and never wants to be treated like that. Plus, she is afraid to lose who she is by falling in love with someone else.Sandy is especially interested in being selected for training as a Female Liaison Specialist (FeLS). All fifteen year olds are required to fill out the forms for this mysterious position, and then “choosers” select from among them. They are told that FeLS “get to wear ultra clothes and hang out with vid stars and have all kinds of money.” Ed is a Chooser, but Nina’s mother Ginnie is adamant that Nina not get “chosen”; there are rumors it is just a cover for recruiting virgins for sex slavery to service upper-level government officials.Ginnie is knifed to death one night, and Nina suspects Ed, but can’t prove it. Right before she died, Ginnie passed some shocking news on to Nina along with a cryptic last request, which Nina is determined to fulfill if only she can figure out how. Now orphaned, Nina and her sister Dee are sent to downtown Chicago to live with her grandparents, the parents of her dad who died right after she was born.One day Nina sees a group of “’letes” (college athletes known for animalistic behavior) [insert sarcastic comment here about some things never changing even in dystopias], pummeling a homeless person. The homeless are considered to be “no better than river rats” and get beaten up and killed regularly. But Nina risks her own life to intervene. When the ‘letes leave, she is shocked to find the homeless person is a boy about her own age, and moreover, under all the scrapes and blood, he is attractive. His name is Sal Davis, and it turns out he goes to her new high school.By hanging out with Sal and his friend Wei, Nina and her friends learn the dark secrets of the regime. With their help, she also is able to uncover the secrets of her mother’s life, and find the solution to the problem her mother passed on to her. But Nina’s friend Sandy can never overcome the propaganda she was brought up to believe, and her willingness to buy into the system has tragic consequences. Evaluation: I thought the darkness of the world created by the author was appropriate; it sounded like a definite possibility to me. It struck me as much more realistic than the similar but "lighter" dystopia portrayed by Lauren Oliver in Delirium. As for the exploitation of women, much of it was implied rather than described. By way of comparison, I tried to read the adult dystopia, The Windup Girl, written by Paolo Bacigalupi and published in September 2009. It won all kinds of awards, but the sexual abuse was so horrific I just could not get very far in my reading. This book includes mistreatment only by way of suggestion.I also was not bothered, as some readers have been, by the fast chemistry between Sal and Nina; when I was her age, I continually “fell in love” for no reason whatsoever besides the way someone looked or walked or even the color of his hair. And I’ve known plenty of girls like Sandy. I would probably agree, however, with the criticisms I’ve seen that “the kids” are able to overcome obstacles a bit too readily before moving on to their next adventure. It served to elevate the mood, but did not help to impart a true-to-life flavor to the book.

    The fifth chapter of the Left Behind series can be divided in to two halves in regards to the plot. The first, which centres around a conference and Nicolae's approach to it is lacking any real action until it wraps up, and although there are some character developing motions, it is largely redundant. The second half drives the story forwards in line with the expectations laid out in Christian literature. The writers ensure nothing can be predicted other than the general predictions and their artistic license is employed well in ramping up the action and creating plot twists. Overall, Apollyon is a standard and entertaining entry in the sequence, however it never delivers any real impact.

    The fifth book of this series was amazing! As the fourth judgment reigns terror down on those that were left behind in the rapture. Along with all the problems coming from the judgments they are also have personal problems. Some of those left behind travel to a huge rally of believers as the judgment begins. This story is a great perspective getter for believers and nonbelievers alike. I ate this book up in about 2 sittings.A must read for everyone! Got a rating of 5 out of 5 from me.

    All of the Left Behind series is provacative, and real page turners. I would recommend these to anyone. I read them about once a year.

    This is the fifth book in the Left behind series. Some of the action, as usual, is not plausible. But we do have action in this book. And the authors still manage to make it a page-turner. So if you read the others...go ahead and read it. Rayford learns the truth about his wife. We have both Chaim Rosenzweig and Hattie come to believe the truth about what is required to be saved, but neither takes that necessary step. Chaim because of pride and Hattie because of hate. I found it hard to believe that a man of Chaim's intellect would allow pride to over ride everything he himself has seen and deduced from hard evidence. And Hattie, well they did a good job with her. She is so annoying I kept hoping she would be written out of the story. The meeting of the 144,000 takes place in Israel and the Anti-Christ attends, as does the prophets of God. The story line in Jerusalem is well written and you could not only visualize what was transpiring. And the authors did a great job of brining the two prophets to life. And their is very good narrative on the Trumpet Seals as they are unleashed on the earth. The only thing I would highly recommend is that you make sure to read this book in its proper sequence. It cannot stand on its own.

    This like all the other "Left Behind" books were hard to put down once you started reading. Awesome.

    The Tribulation Force is gathering in Jerusalem, where thousands of the faithful are receiving crucial teachings from their leader. They must be prepared for the fourth Trumpet Judgement prophesied in Revelations. Soon, even the sun will be affected, and a plague of anguish will be released on earth.As the Tribulation Force continues its dramatic struggle against evil, Apollyon offers stunning apocalyptic visions.

    This thrill-ride was a glimpse into the very near and frightening future, as the New World Order sets the stage for today’s preppers and survivalists. How will life fare for those of us who will not take on the mark of the beast? It was fun to read of technological advances that seemed astonishing when the book was written, yet have become part of our daily lives in this millennium...SMILE!!!

     By this point in the series, it seems the authors abandoned any way of making the Bible (or their interpretation) seem plausible, and went full fundamentalist. Everything is literal. Nothing is symbolic.
