I recently finished reading "Survivors." The author copies the "Left Behind" series format, including the characters, except for two things.
1: It is written with a post-trib view
and
2: Instead of stretching a four book series out to be 12 large books costing $15.00 each to generate millions and millions of dollars in profit, the author of "Survivors" puts it all into one small paperback and makes no profit, because he gives it away for FREE. He just asks that people give a couple dollars to cover printing and shipping costs. I read the paperback, but it's available online. (Just click the image below.)
I highly recommend this book to anybody who has read, or is thinking about reading the "Left Behind" series.
(Sorry about the poor image. I scanned it myself.)
