The Rapture has occurred - the end of the world. The faithful have risen up to Heaven.
Those left behind are in a living hell. Armed only with his swords and his wit, a teenage boy wanders this post-apocalyptic world alone, separated forever from everyone he loves. Cursed by his demonic heritage, he must now embark on a quest that will take him across the US to the City of Angels.

Review:
Phillip pens "Rapture" in a well developed, fast paced, action packed, apocalyptic story line. His characters are very well defined, interesting and strong when they take you to this futurist world of good vs evil. I was totally captivated by this book and it only took me a few hours to read it. A must read for all action apocalyptic fans.
I give "Rapture" a 5 star rating.
