The series is a story about what could happen to the people left behind after the Rapture. I have found this series to be very intriguing and each book has held my interest to the point of not wanting to put them down. This, the eighth in the series, is about a period in time when the people who would follow the devil would receive a mark of the beast on their forehead or arm. Those who do not receive this mark can not buy food, clothing or any other needed material. Actually, if they refuse to get the mark they will be sent to a guillotine. This series has topped the best-seller lists across the country.From what I have read, sales have reached the tens of millions and been the biggest selling of this type of book of all time.
