Thunder of Heaven: A Joshua Jordan Novel
(OverDrive MP3 Audiobook, OverDrive Listen)
In the second installment of The End series, not even Joshua Jordan's anti-nuclear technology can stop global events moving to catastrophic as terrorist missiles take down an American plane and a bomb explodes in the Mall of America.
Joshua Jordan's reputation is on the line when his controversial anti-nuclear system fails to protect a commercial flight as it takes off from Chicago and is shot down by a terrorist missile. The government is taking no chances and starts an investigation of Joshua's entire defense program. The Israelis, longtime allies of the United States, are desperate for the technology. When Joshua flies to the Middle East to assure them of the Return to Sender reliability, he is captured by Iranians who want the secret for the defense tool for their own use.
With Joshua out of the country, Abigail Jordan is left in charge of the Roundtable and sets out to defend her husband to the media and to the commission set up to investigate RTS. But America is under attack—a bombing in the Mall of America and rumors of even more potential atrocities have this covert team desperate to find additional bombs before they are set off.
As world events begin setting the stage for the "end of days" foretold in Revelation, Joshua Jordan must weigh the personal price he must pay to save the nation he loves.
From New York Times bestselling author Tim LaHaye, creator and co-author of the world-renowned Left Behind books, and Craig Parshall, this epic series chronicles the earth-shattering events leading up to the Apocalypse foretold in Revelation.

- content: Narrator Stefan Rudnicki weaves political corruption, terrorists, and global warming to skillfully capture the tense drama of the second title in this prophetic fiction series, The End. Rudnicki's delivery of events, foretold in Revelation thousands of years ago, is chilling as terrorists shoot down Flight 199 from Chicago and plot to detonate a nuclear bomb in New York City. With genuine-sounding emotion, Rudnicki captures the frustration of military hero Joshua Jordan and his wife, Abigail, as they repeatedly attempt to convince government leaders of pending attacks on the U.S. and Israel. In addition, Rudnicki's powerfully characterizes White House conspirators and their efforts to discredit Joshua. This audio will keep listeners in the car long after the ride is over!

Bad Arabs, steely-jawed Christians, evil Russkies, signs and portents from the Holy Land: LaHaye and Parshall, skilled packagers of prophecy, serve up Pat Robertson's worst nightmare.
LaHaye (Luke's Story, 2009, etc.), of course, has made a worldly fortune serving up visions of the end times with his Left Behind series, which one might have thought would offer the last word on the subject. But no: He left out some important twists on Revelation, namely a Russian-Islamic alliance that "only looked like a historic game changer," a "global religious coalition for climate change" (evil, natch), and some inconvenient volcanic activity to pepper up the air while the forces of evil descend on Israel. Apart from that, it's business as usual: The government is busy putting the mark of the beast on good Americans in the guise of a "biological identification tag," and stalwart servants of Jehovah bearing biblically charged names such as Joshua Jordan (and, in the interest of gender balance, his daughter, who one wishes were named River) do their best to thwart Old Nick—and, for that matter, the Romanians. The story is predictable, the research loose, the errors many: There's no such thing as a lieutenant major, not in this man's army; neither is there a Dali Lama, unless the Tibetan Buddhists have appointed a cleric to oversee surrealist art; and bad old Islamicists would doubtless prefer to be grammatically correct when committing themselves to divine victory, Allah Ackbar. But no matter: This is no exercise in infallibility, but instead a by-the-numbers, fill-in-the-blanks genre thriller with all the usual cliches ("something grabbed her attention like a slap in the face") mixed up with the first stirrings of the apocalypse.
Readers who like that sort of thing will like this. As for the others, well, you don't need to be a fundamentalist to enjoy the end-days mayhem, but it probably helps. Suspending disbelief does, too.

In Edge of Apocalypse, Joshua Jordan was forced to go rogue and use the missile defense system he had created to save America. Now with global events foreshadowing the "end of days" as foretold in the Book of Revelation, Joshua travels to Israel, where he must decide once again whether he should interfere and do what he can to save the world. VERDICT LaHaye's name alone will have libraries purchasing multiple copies, but this fast-paced novel is in its own right a strong one with a multidimensional hero. Ripped right from today's headlines, it will attract fans of the "Left Behind" series and other apocalyptic fiction.

Best-selling biblical prophecy author LaHaye and his coauthor, Parshall, continue The End series, following Edge of Apocalypse (2010), reconnecting readers with the U.S. spy-plane hero turned weapons designer Joshua Jordan. In this futuristic tale, a sophisticated missile-defense system appears to have failed following an attack, killing everyone aboard a commercial flight. Now Jordan and his family begin to see the end times screech toward the culmination of the prophesied apocalypse, the dramatic theme that keeps LaHaye fans coming back for more. Meant to chronicle a fictional but realistic prediction of the very near future, the plot is so familiar that its predictability dials down the potential for a thrilling, paging-turning read, making for a somewhat lackluster read. However, its clear that Jordans story will continue in at least one more episode, and LaHayes followers will be undaunted. HIGH-DEMAND BACKSTORY: Given the record-breaking success of LaHayes highly publicized previous eschatological novels, this is a must for most popular-fiction collections.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2011, American Library Association.)
