GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Nov. 13 /Christian
Newswire/ -- Zondervan, a world leader in Christian communications, has
signed an agreement with attorney Craig Parshall and Tim LaHaye, creator and
co-author of the world renowned Left Behind series. Three years after the
success of the Left Behind final installment, LaHaye returns to publish Edge of
Apocalypse, an apocalyptic epic infused with political intrigue ripped from
today's headlines, the first book in a new series called The End.
"I'm thrilled to partner with Zondervan to produce a series hopefully even more
innovative than Left Behind," said LaHaye. "While my past works have piqued
interest in biblical prophecy on a global level, The End series includes many
prophecies that were not covered in Left Behind."
Edge of Apocalypse jumpstarts the series as military-hero-turned-inventor Joshua
Jordan attempts to save Manhattan from two nuclear missiles. Using his Return to
Sender military defense system, Jordan finds himself facing an unbearable ransom
to the nation he loves. As tensions escalate and global alliances topple, only
Jordan and a secret group known only as The Patriots can save the United States
from terrorists abroad and traitors within.
Set in the very near future, The End series chronicles the earth shattering
events which eventually lead up to the Rapture and the beginning of the
prophesied Last Days of mankind.
"We are absolutely thrilled to be working with Tim and Craig on this new
series," said Zondervan CEO Moe Girkins. "We believe that starting with Edge of
Apocalypse; this series will make you think while exploring your faith."
Edge of Apocalypse will release worldwide on April 20, 2010 with a first print
run of 500,000 copies.
