I saw some of the movie this got turned into on TV last year. I wasn't particularly engaged by it, though it's an interesting concept if you want to go down the "Rapture" path.

I remember seeing this some time ago. There's something a bit unseemly about most of the Left Behind style fiction though; it tends to strike me as torture porn with a side of holier-than-thou-ness.

Does the art remind anyone of Kelley Jones? I actually thought it was him for a minute.

Huh. That's kind of interesting. Skylar's looking for evidence of the rapture in the bible- but she's looking in the wrong part of it. Her quote is from revelations, whereas the 'rapture' is described in 1 Thessalonians.

(Pretribulationism, or the idea that the Rapture will function as a beam up for all the good Christians *before* everything on Earth gets nasty, is a relatively recent and far from universally accepted interpretation).

I do like how Mister Gaiman and Sir Terry put it in Good Omens.

"... If that's your idea of a morally acceptable time, I might add."

Okay, that is an awesome cover.
