About this listen

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.

Though this book didn't live up to expectations, I did enjoy the story. I felt the Left Behind series is much better. If you enjoy a good adventure/historical mystery/comic book with semi-believable characters, you'll enjoy this one.

To assist in your enjoyment you'll need to either skip LaHaye's intro, or disregard his description of the story's hero. He calls the hero someone who "faces many of the challenges of our day. Many that are familiar to all of us." You'd only be familiar with those challenges if your name was Indiana Jones.

The author's combination of biblical history and prophecy with adventurous suspense is interesting. The narrator's voice is too monotone, but not enough to spoil the overall effect. This was a good listen.

I agree with what rest of the reviewers are saying that this book is far from captivating considering the main topic of the plot. Perhaps,Tim Lahey got caught in developing a series more than developing a good book. I guess one has to read all the books in the series to truely judge if the entire plot and the composition was worth it or no.

A good audiobook ..Not a great book

This is one of only two books in years that I couldn't finish on audible. Boring and CV the religious tenor was a bit much.

great read and entertaining. But not nearly as long as I would have expected for the thickness of the book and a number of chapters. I really only got a few hours of listening out of this one. And to be honest I'm not sure why. However it is a very engaging story and I'm interested to read the following ones. all together, I would recommend to this one.

Great book. not as long as expected, though.

I feel some Indiana Jones in this fine book. Action, suspense and a tremendous plot. It will keep you glued to your computer or headphones.

Another amazing book by one of my favorite writers. I truly enjoy a book that keeps me reading and looking forward to the next book. The added benefit of a story that honors my faith is what keeps me seeking this author. Keep them coming Mr. LaHaye

I think that this book is a very good prequel to the Left Behind series. I think possibly only chrisitans will appreciate what Lahaye is trying to get across to his readers. A maybe of not what may happen in the future but what will happen when the human timeline is left with out any sand left in its sand clock. SO Christians read and understand what will be

Prequel to Left Behind
