Babylon Rising

Tim LaHaye created the Left Behind Series, which has become one of the most popular fiction series of all time. Those novels, with more that 50 million copies sold, presented a unique combination of suspense and substance drawn from his lifelong study of Biblical prophecy.Now Tim LaHaye has created a new series that begins with Babylon Rising. The novels in this new series are even faster-paced thrillers based on prophecies that are not covered in the Left Behind books and that have great relevance to the events of today. Babylon Rising introduces a terrific new hero for our time. Michael Murphy is a scholar of Biblical prophecy, but not the sedate and tweedy kind. Murphy is a field archaeologist who defies danger to fearlessly hunt down and authenticate ancient artifacts from Biblical times. His latest discovery is his most amazing—but it will send him hurtling from a life of excavation and revelations to a confrontation with the forces of the greatest evil. For the latest secret uncovered by Michael Murphy accelerates the countdown to the time of the end for all mankind.

BABYLON RISING marks the debut of a new series that promises the same combination of Christian ideology and fast-paced action that delighted fans of the Left Behind books. LaHaye and Dinallo's new novel introduces a man of surprising courage who meets the tests of the heroic task set before him. On a high-stakes roller-coaster ride, he stages an impossible escape from the jaws of death, learns the secret of a Biblical prophecy, and loses a loved one to a brutal murder. When forces of a terrifying evil are empowered, only he can meet them. LaHaye's successful formula delivers edge-of-the-seat suspense, larger-than-life characters, and lively dialogue in the context of a modern-day morality tale that caters to devotees of Christian prophetic literature.
