Frantic (Left Behind: The Kids)
Frantic is a book by Jerry B. Jenkins and Tim LaHaye, famous Christian authors. It covers volumes 20-22 in the Left Behind: The Kids series, which tells about the lives of people living in the end of the world. It is book six of the twelve-book series, and was published in 2004. This novel starts when strange, demon locusts are trying to get into the Young Trib Force hideout. The Christians there know that they are safe from the locusts, but the unbelievers are not. The locusts can sting non-believers, but they cannot kill them. Will the believers be able to stop the locusts from stinging their friends?
In Israel, Judd Thompson Jr. was on a plane when the locusts appear. When he finds out that nobody on the plane is a true believer in Christ, he thinks of a plan to get the people off the plane safely. Will he be able to save the passengers from the locusts, or will they have to endure unimaginable pain from the demons' deadly stings?
Nicolae Carpathia shows his evil ways as he blames this judgment from God, once again, on the Christians. Everyday, Nicolae gets more and more famous, but also more and more a threat to the Christians. The people all around the world panic as the demons sting their victims one by one. The Young Trib Force risk their lives to help others learn the truth while they avoid the tightening grip of the Global Community forces.
Frantic (video game)
Frantic is a Commodore VIC-20 space shoot-em-up video game published by Imagine Software in 1982. The game involves the player piloting a space ship whilst trying to keep an X and Y axis centered on the enemy, which enters the field of play at varying speeds and directions. Slower enemies appear horizontally and quicker enemies diagonally. The game's title alludes to the fact that the game is timed, as fuel levels deplete during play.Centering the X and Y axis to target enemies involves engaging thrusters which in turn burns fuel. The game can be played with either a joystick or keyboard.
The game was released in cassette form only and was initially priced at £5.50.

Spaceknights
Spaceknights is a name used by at least three distinct groups of fictional characters appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The better-known group is a core concept of the 1980s comic book Rom Spaceknight, while the other two are far more recent creations and not much is yet known about them.
Galador's Spaceknights
The original Spaceknights are an organization appearing in the Marvel Comics universe. It is an elite group of cyborg humanoids from the planet Galador, created to battle the Dire Wraiths. Rom the Spaceknight is the most well-known member.
The idea of the Spaceknights was invented by the Parker Brothers toy company as part of the background for their toy character of Rom, but it was developed in the Marvel Rom comic, in 1979, by Bill Mantlo and Sal Buscema. Marvel retains ownership of the Spaceknight characters today.
