The Christ Clone Trilogy is like a condensed version of the Left Behind book series, except that it uses cloning to create what eventually becomes the Antichrist by the time the series reaches its climax. What I take issue on is that the author gets the Rapture teaching all wrong — instead of people being taken up into heaven in their own physical bodies to meet the Lord in the air, the Christians end up dying, and supposedly their bodies get resurrected when the Lord comes. In fact, everybody ends up dying, all because of the author's interpretation of Scripture saying that "it is appointed for man once to die, and then face judgment" while ignoring that Scripture also says "we shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed — in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet". It's an interesting read if you don't want to be bothered with hundreds of pages of Left Behind, but be aware of what it's teaching if you are into eschatology.
