Left Behind –The final two chapters of ASSASSINS Chapters 22 and 23


If anything, Buck decided, the speaking gift Nicolae Carpathia had first demonstrated at the United Nations three and a half years before had only improved with time. Back then he had used his prodigious memory, grasp of facts and history, and mastery of several languages to wow even the press. Who could remember when the working media had risen as one to endorse a rousing speaker?


Of course, that 1st internationally publicized speech had come within days of the disappearance from the earth of millions of people, including all babies and most children. Carpathia had appeared the perfect man for the perfect moment, and a terrified world – including at first Buck – embraced him. The globe seemed as one to look to Carpathia as a voice of peace, harmony, and reason. He was young, handsome, dynamic, charismatic, articulate, brilliant, decisive, and – incongruously – humble. It appeared he reluctantly accepted the mantle of leadership thrust upon them by an adoring populace.


Nicolae had reinvented the world, dividing it into 10 regions, each with its own potentate. In the midst of increasing strife that impacted the globe even worse than the loss of millions at the Rapture, he stood as the paternal voice of comfort and encouragement. Through World War III, famine, the great wrath of the Lamb earthquake, meteor strikes, maritime disasters, contamination of waterways, global darkening and cooling, swarms of scorpion locus, and more recently the plagues of fire, smoke, and sulfur that it taken yet another 3rd of the population, still Carpathia held firm control.


There were rumors of insurrection on the parts of at least 3 sub- potentates, but nothing had yet come of that. Grieving, desperate people often railed about the New World and why it seemed to get worse, only to have Nicolae calm them over the airwaves with promises, sympathy, and pledges of tireless effort.
