Tim LaHaye, co-author of the megaselling Left Behind series of apocalyptic novels, has switched publishers and will partner with lawyer-author Craig Parshall on a new apocalyptic series.  Zondervan said it had signed LaHaye and Parshall to produce The End, a series set in the near future chronicling political events leading up to the end times. The series kicks off with Edge of Apocalypse, to release worldwide April 20, 2010, with a first print run of 500,000 copies.

“While my past works have piqued interest in biblical prophecy on a global level, The End series includes many prophecies that were not covered in Left Behind,” LaHaye said in a statement. Parshall is the author of the Chamber of Justice legal thrillers series. The Left Behind series, published by Tyndale House, has sold more 65 million units.
