From the back rooms of the U.S. government to the United Nations world stage, this new political thriller runs side-by-side with the phenomenal series that has sold in excess of 58 million copies. This series begins as the head of FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Administration) tries to cope with a nationwide and worldwide disaster as millions of people disappear. The story continues from book #1 End of States as four unlikely friends are bound together by their common faith and recognition that the Biblically foretold events of the Tribulation are at hand. All four recognize Nicolae Carpathia's role as the Antichrist and are forced to deal emotionally and spiritually with the world around them. While their future is unclear, their faith in God sustains them amid the chaos.
