This novel explores apocalyptic themes and delves into the aftermath of the Lord's Second Coming, focusing on the fate of those left behind during the Tribulation. It raises profound questions about the nature of evil, the Antichrist, and the significant moral dilemmas faced by its characters, particularly Judith Montmarte and Colonel Youlter, as they navigate an increasingly chaotic world.
