The international fiction series phenomenon continues. Jerry B. Jenkins and Tim LaHaye pick up the exciting end-times saga where The Indwelling left off. The evil world leader Nicolae Carpathia officially takes his place as the Antichrist and begins his three-and-a-half year reign of terror over the earth. Technology provides the means to place the mark of the beast on every human, and the Trib Force scrambles to survive.

    Nestled deep in the series, The Mark takes a single event, and stretches it in to a relatively short novel. The branding of belief has been central to the Christian forces for several books in the Left Behind series and with The Mark it now becomes Satan's tool of choice. This particular entry feels more like a television episode than a novel with little character development and a singular plot which doesn't offer much in the way of memorable scenes, beyond one harrowing occurrence near the end. Ultimately, The Mark has a few plot elements which are important to the series and if this book was skipped you would be up to date by reading the first few pages of Desecration (book nine), just like watching a soap opera.

    I love the book, but I don't care for the narrator, and I really don't like the chapters that are just dramatic music.

    Five of the fourteen short stories and essays in this book are from the Thieves World or Liavek shared world. After over 100+ pages I won‘t read anymore Liavek stories. On the other hand, there’s only one story in this collection from the Borderlands series and I like that universe very much. Emma Bull writes this in an essay called,"Wonders of the Invisible World." “So to tell a few little truths I can‘t manage in any other way, I tell a larger lie. I make fiction. But sometimes, when I’m lucky, I find that in the process of telling that big lie, I tell more truth than I set out to. When I’m luckiest, I tell myself things even I didn’t know.”

    I loved how this book had both illustrations and photographs. I think it nicely juxtaposed the imaginative thinking about space life, and what we actually know. The illustrations also reminded me of sesame street or where the wild things are. I like how this book can foster discussion between the reader and those being read to.

    His Excellency Global Community Potentate Nicolae Carpathia is back, this time as Satan. Resurrected and indwelt by the devil himself, the beast tightens his grip as ruler of the world. Terror comes to believers in Greece as they are among the first to face a GC loyalty mark application site. The gloves are off, as the forces of good and evil begin a battle for the very souls of men and women around the globe.

    This book is almost like a turning point in my opinion. Everything and everyone is restructured, moved, and all the circumstances have changed. I had started to lose interest until the last book, The Indwelling. Now with this book its like a fresh start on the story. Same characters, set in new places, changes everything. Cant wait for the next book to arrive in the mail. Didnt look far enough ahead to realize this one would be such a quick read.

    This is book eight of the Left behind series. And though the writing is simple and there is very little character development. I still was able to read it on one afternoon. It does help that the book is short. Though it has 380 pages, the typeset and margins make it equivalent to a 100-page book. In this book we have Carpathia no longer being Mr. Nice guy. He orders that everyone will worship him. And to prove their loyalty they have a choice. They may take the mark of the beast; or have their heads cut off. We do read about the process of choice in Greece. And I have to say the violence is very graphic. Of course with the mark being applied, those Tribulation Saints that are still out in the Global Community have to flee. And we have the Tribulation Force helping them escape where they can. Of course they cannot help everyone. Though they do what they can. The end of this book has Carpathia heading to Jerusalem. Where he will desecrate the holy temple and proclaim himself God. Thereby breaking his pact with Israel. Even though I only rated this book two stars. If you plan to continue the series to its conclusion, as I do, you will need to read it. It introduces new characters and sets up some of the next events. For example I think they will write about the exodus of Gods Chosen from Israel.

    The next few days in the life of the Tribulation Force as they settle into a new 'safe house'. Exciting, but yet again very little character development. Fast-moving yet long-winded with a lot of theology.

    The Mark continues on the story of the Tribulation Force in their battle against the Anti-Christ. Although not as good as the previous novel, The Indwelling, this novel is pretty good. LaHaye and Jenkins do a find job in their story telling. It took me only 2 full days to read this novel so it isn't the deepest of reads.
