An antichrist among us

Has anyone caught this biblical fiction series LEFT BEHIND co-authored by christian conservative writer Tim LaHaye?

It's apparently a big seller already on its sixth book installment. The plot is set AFTER the rapture, where those who have not been saved are stuck on earth as the Antichrist rages across the earth. A nice way to cash in on the scariness of revelations while illustrating the punishment for those who don't find christ in a hurry.

Add in Pat Robertson's fiction a while ago, and you do have a burgeoning fiction market for the apocolypse :)
