"A great addition o the Left Behind novels"
The latest hot spot in the world is the border between
Turkey and Syria and the United Nations has asked United
States President Fitzhugh to send troops there to keep
hostilities from turning deadly. American soldiers are at
the front lines in Turkey hoping their presence is enough
to deter Syria from attacking but those hopes end with a
Syrian attack. Sergeant Samuel Adams "Goose" Gander is at
the battle's front lines when many of the soldiers in his
command vanish. At Fort Benning, Georgia, Goose's wife Megan tries to talk
a suicidal teen out of jumping. She grabs hold of him but
is not strong enough to stop his fall, but the only thing
that is on the sidewalk is his personal effects. Other
people disappeared on the base at the same time. While Goose and Megan fight different wars on different
fronts, they remain strong for the people who depend on
them. People all across the world choose sides in the
coming Tribulation. Fans of the Left Behind series will definitely want to read
APOCALYPSE DAWN a look at the actions of the military
during the Tribulation times. Much of the action centers
around Goose as he wrestles with the questions of faith
despite what he has seen and others have witnessed on the
battlefield. Mel Odom's military thriller is fast paced,
full of action yet doesn't shortchange readers on character
development. Readers will take Megan and Goose into their
hearts and eagerly await the next book in this series to
see what happens next to these special characters. Harriet Klausner
