I preferred The Third Millenium, actually. Always more punchy and more concise when it's written by a Jew.
Then again, The Fourth Millenium was stretching it a bit.In reaction to Richwine Affair, all right-thinking people are quick to proclaim that they don’t believe in a genetic basis for IQ. They’re much less quick to explain – with any sort of precision – what they actually do believe in. At best, we’re treated to some hand-waving paired with the phrase “social construct.”.

They're up to book eleven now? Well, even if they're as horrible as so many people saw, that's still a huge series.

So, like, there's this group of people, and see, they think they're going to get, like, transported off the planet suddenly, before some really bad things happen. Like. You know, space arks and all that. And it's going to be really rough, and they are like just so happy that they won't go through it. But then, like, they want to read all about it, so these guys, see, they write some books, so the Church can vicariously go through the tribulation.
Go figure...

They're not as good as they used to be.
Depending on how good this one is will tell me whether or not I will finish the series.

If you get through the eleventh book, you might as well finish the series. The plan is to publish 13."My love is nailed to the cross" - St. Ignatius the God-Bearer
