Neste segundo volume da série Deixados para trás, o anticristo toma o poder do mundo, de forma pacífica e sendo idolatrado por todos como o homem que veio em favor dos oprimidos, e Rayford Steele e Buck Williams se veem pressionados a servi-lo. Nicolae Carpathia assume as Nações Unidas, assina um tratado de paz com Israel e começa a atrair as nações do mundo inteiro para constituir um governo global.
Em meio ao caos e devastação mundial após o desaparecimento repentino de milhões de crentes cristãos, quatro pessoas formam um grupo de células insurgentes: o Comando Tribulação. Rayford Steele, piloto da Pan-Continental Airlines; Buck Williams, jornalista do Semanário Global; Bruce Barnes, pastor-assistente da Igreja Nova Comunidade da Vida; e Chloe Steele, filha de Rayford e estudante universitária. Esse grupo sabe que o que Nicolae chama de paz mundial, marcará, na verdade, o fim do mundo. Poderiam eles resistir a esse líder poderoso e carismático antes que sua visão para dominar o mundo tenha sucesso?
Timothy F. LaHaye is an American evangelical Christian minister, author, and speaker. He is best-known for the Left Behind series of apocalyptic fiction, which he co-wrote with Jerry B. Jenkins. He has written over 50 books, both fiction and non-fiction.
LaHaye received a B.A. from Bob Jones University in 1950. He also holds a Doctor of Ministry degree from Western Seminary. In 1958, the LaHaye family moved to San Diego, California, where he became pastor of the Scott Memorial Baptist Church (since renamed Shadow Mountain Community Church) in El Cajon, serving there for almost 25 years. In 1971 he founded Christian Heritage College, which is now known as San Diego Christian College.
LaHaye is best-known for the Left Behind series of apocalyptic fiction that depict the Earth after the pretribulation rapture which LaHaye believes will occur. The books were LaHaye's brainchild, though Jerry B. Jenkins, a former sportswriter with numerous other works of fiction to his name, did the actual writing of the books from LaHaye's notes. LaHaye has said, "I write the best I can. I know I'm never going to be revered as some classic writer. I don't claim to be C. S. Lewis. The literary-type writers, I admire them. I wish I was smart enough to write a book that's hard to read, you know?"
Time magazine named LaHaye one of the 25 most influential evangelicals in America and in the summer of 2001 the Evangelical Studies Bulletin named him the most influential Christian leader of the preceding quarter century.
