BOOK REVIEW: Brink of Chaos by Tim LaHaye and Craig Parshall
Brink of Chaos is set
sometime in the future. In this time, United States citizens are required to
have ID chips inserted into their bodies for tracking purposes. This regulation
is new enough that some people do not yet have the chip.
Joshua Jordan, a retired
Colonel, was a test pilot who flew combat missions in Iraq as well as U-2 spy
planes over Iran. He has a degree from MIT and, as a civilian contractor, he
developed the Return to Sender missile defense system. When the story opens he
is living in exile in Israel having been wrongly accused of treason in the
United States. His wife, Jordan, is restricted from leaving the country and has
been separated from Joshua for two years because of the legal restraints. They
have two grown children. Lt. Debbie Jordan who works in the Pentagon and
21-year old Cal Jordan.
From Israel, Joshua, along with
two Israeli agents, frees a U.S. pilot from prison there. When the pilot,
Captain Louder, gets back to the United States, he is awarded the Medal of
Honor by President Jessica Tulrude who fails to mention (or let Louder say)
that Joshua Jordan freed him.
Abigail Jordan, who is also
Joshua's lawyer, is fighting to get the treason charges dropped. However, the
administration is thwarting her all along the way.
For fans, this book is the final in the series and I think you'll find
it as exciting as ever. However, if you haven't read the previous books in the
series, you'll still like this one. It stands alone and gives background as
needed without being repetitious.
I don't agree with the end time prophecy throughout the book, but it
was still an exciting read.
I received a complimentary copy of this book for review from the
publisher. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have
expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade
Commission's 16 CFR, Part 255.
