great read
Apocalypse Dawn makes a great edition to the Left Behind series. There are a lot of similarities in the struggle to grasp what has happened. Left Behind covers a vast period of time and briefly goes over the major events whereas Apocalypse Dawn covers roughly 48 hours and only a few events. The shorter time period and less events creates a deeper and darker focus on the rapture. Also with the short time period, there is less turning to God. You do get a better feel of the questions those left behind are asking themselves and how they are dealing with the shock.

Great Read for Soldiers, and their Families.
I found this book a wonderful read for Soldiers, or any military person, whom is also a Believer. Its thrilling chapters, involving 3 seperate, but connected characters, seemed as if you were almost reading different stories, intertwined within 1 book. I found a truly awesome array of emotions when reading that books rarely give me. Today's Soldiers and yesterday's veterans will be able to smell the gunpowder and hear the voices of the hurt and dying. You will be able to remember a 1st Sergeant just like "Goose" who led you during your tour of duty. Military wives will be able to find themselves in the shoes of Goose's wife Maggie as she struggles with the deployment of her husband and the daily challenges of raising 2 boys, of very different ages. I HIGHLY recommend this book as the Gospel message is clear and concise and will both touch and break your heart. Makes you want to stand up and cheer, and fall to your knees and rejoice the Saviour.

needs more research into comand structure
While I like the concept of the Military view of the Tribulation. I would like a little more accuracy in the command structure. ie
1st SGT Gander should be CSM Gander as it apears the he is a ranking battalion sargent. plus 1stSGT's are not referred to as "sarge" it is "!st SGT" or "TOP"
CPT Remmington should be a LTC or MAJ at Minimum as he appears to be a Battalion commander.
here is the basic command structure
troop: individual soldier Enlisted pvt - spc
team: 5 to 20 troops size may very lead by CPL or SGT
squad: generally 2 teams could be more depending on unit lead SGT-SSGT
Platoon: 7 to 8 squads size varies depending on unit type and mission lead by platoon sgt SSGT - SFC and Platoon leader 1st or 2nd leutenet
Company: 3 to 4 platoons lead by 1st SGT and Company commander CPT
Batallion: 3 to 4 companies lead by CSM and Batallion commander LTC, Majors generally hold the position of batallion XO
Brigade:3 to 4 Battallions commanded by a COL and a CSM

Division: 3 to 4 Brigades generally commanded by a Major (2 star) General and a CSM.
Corp: three or more Divisions and supporting commands. Lt(3 star)General.
Just venting for those of us former Army guys. other wise a good story
