Everyone gets ridiculously stereotyped names equally?

"Chances are, only one out of the four of us will survive to the Glorious Appearing."<br /><br />Jenkins has written that he knew early in the series that Rayford would be the one survivor.<br /><br />And I suspected as much. Book #1 begins with Rayford's perspective. And 8 or 9 of the sequels begin with Rayford. The other three earliest members of the Tribulation Force meet each other through him. So it was natural that he would be the only one of the four to reach Book #12 alive.aunursanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7882696241406815138.post-79076546649884391472014-03-10T08:51:55.962-07:002014-03-10T08:51:55.962-07:00Spoiler: all the good guys go to heaven, all the b...Spoiler: all the good guys go to heaven, all the bad guys go to hell.<br /><br />"I'll put it under my hat.
