This review is quite a bit late since I finished this book almost a month ago. The story takes place over the course of three days where the ruler of the world Nicolae Carpathia lays dead. On the third day he comes back to life but this time he’s different. This time he is indwelt by Satan himself and vows to wreak havoc on the Christians and Jews. Along the way both Rayford and Buck find their way back to the United States and the group moves into a new safehouse.

Oh, and Chloe wants to kill her baby. Her reason is that by killing her child it will be guaranteed salvation. But if the child should fall into the hands of the Global Community and become brainwashed then that would be too horrible to bear. No doubt that would be a horrible thing but come on! The solution to the problem is not to kill your baby! At least Tsion had the sense to try to talk her out of it and thankfully no babies were killed in this book. The absolute ridiculousness of this reminds me of an article on popular satire news site The Onion.

The other thing that worries me about this character is that she is supposedly the CEO of this International Co-op that consists of tens of thousands of “employees”. We’re supposed to believe that this new mother is the lone CEO of such of huge concern and she manages the whole thing from her laptop and phone in the safehouse. Now I’m willing to suspend some disbelief in order to enjoy the story but this is asking a little too much.

The ending wasn’t much of a cliffhanger so I’m going to take a break from the series to read Fight Club.
