"Driverless cars careen out of control. Terrified people watch their loved ones vanish. Some say it's an alien invasion, but Rayford Steele knows that his wife's warning has come true—Christ has raptured believers and he's been left behind!" - leftbehind.com

The "Left Behind" series, concieved and written by Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins, focuses on the pivotal characters of Rayford Steele, Chloe Steele, Cameron "Buck" Williams and Pastor Bruce Barnes who are stunned when millions of people disappear including children both born and unborn. Every one of them has links to people who have 'disappeared' and slowly the conviction grows within them that it is the "Rapture", when God takes his true believers from the Earth and begins his final attempt at turning mankind toward him.

Realising their disasterous mistake; Rayford, Chloe, Buck and Pastor Bruce Barnes band together and join a community of 'tribulation saints', named so after the seven year period of Tribulation they have been ushered into by the 'Rapture'.

Meanwhile, a slick Romanian politician by the name of Nicolae Jetty Carpathia begins to gain notoriety, first as the Romanian President and then as Secretary General of the United Nations with the help of Chaim Rozenweig and his 'Eden' formula; his climb is followed closely by "Buck" and his boss Steve Plank, who soon gives up his journalistic integrity to work for the politician. At an alarming pace, Nicolae's increasing popularity sees his control grow ... until even world domination isn't unreasonable.

The disappearances, the 'Rapture', of millions of people caused devastation around the world; but the 'tribulation saints' soon learn that the seven years to follow will only bring more judgements upon mankind, from a worldwide earthquake to World War III, ravaging the world until the pinnacle of the seven years is reached; when Jesus Christ returns to earth to build his kingdom.
