About the author

Frank E. Peretti is an American author whose work transformed the landscape of contemporary Christian fiction by introducing suspense, supernatural conflict, and spiritual warfare into mainstream religious storytelling. Widely regarded as a pioneer of the Christian thriller genre, he achieved international recognition with the bestselling novels This Present Darkness (1986) and Piercing the Darkness (1989), books that captivated millions of readers and helped redefine the possibilities of faith-based fiction. His novels combine fast-paced storytelling with biblical themes, presenting unseen battles between angels and demons alongside the everyday struggles of ordinary people. Over the course of his career, Peretti's books have sold more than 15 million copies worldwide and have been translated into dozens of languages, making him one of the most influential Christian novelists of his generation. Born in Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada, and raised primarily in Seattle, Washington, Peretti overcame a difficult childhood marked by a facial tumor that impaired his speech until corrective surgery and therapy allowed him to communicate more freely. Those early experiences of isolation, ridicule, and perseverance later inspired both his memoir The Wounded Spirit and his lifelong concern for children facing bullying. Before becoming a full-time writer, he studied English, filmmaking, and screenwriting, worked various jobs, performed with a bluegrass band, and served alongside his father in pastoral ministry within the Assemblies of God. His experience teaching children at church camps rekindled his passion for storytelling and ultimately led him toward writing. After publishing the children's adventure novel The Door in the Dragon's Throat, Peretti experienced a breakthrough with This Present Darkness, a manuscript rejected by numerous publishers before becoming an extraordinary bestseller through enthusiastic reader recommendations. He continued his success with novels including The Oath, The Visitation, Monster, Illusion, and the popular Veritas Project series for younger readers. Several of his works have also been adapted into films, including Hangman's Curse, The Visitation, and House, the latter co-written with fellow novelist Ted Dekker. In addition to fiction, Peretti has written memoirs and nonfiction books addressing bullying, personal healing, and Christian living. His writing is distinguished by its vivid portrayal of spiritual warfare, moral conflict, redemption, and the enduring struggle between good and evil. While many readers praise his compelling narratives and imaginative vision, his theological interpretations have also generated discussion and criticism within Christian circles, particularly regarding the depiction of angels, demons, and supernatural conflict. Nevertheless, his influence on Christian publishing remains profound. Many authors and commentators credit Peretti with opening the door for a new generation of Christian suspense and speculative fiction, while scholars have noted the lasting cultural impact of his novels on evangelical readers and modern religious literature. Through his storytelling, Peretti established a distinctive literary voice that continues to inspire readers seeking fiction that combines suspense, faith, and the supernatural.

And the mystery goes on....

Another great book in this series. What is causing all these mysterious things to happen as we read in each of these books so far... When will we know the truth... I for one can't wait to read the next book!!!

Not as good as his other books BIG disappointment

No suspense, no crime, no protagonist or antagonist. I found this book to be so unlike his other books that if I had to read it not knowing who the author was, I never would have guessed it was he.

[Heather Painter · Rating 4 out of 5]

Another delightfully creepy read!

The battle of good vs evil continues in this great book, by Frank Peretti! This one reads like a science fiction novel. I won't spoil it, by giving away too many details, but picture elements like killer fungi, and floating golden orbs. It was fun! You definitely need to read the first several books, before reading this one. I'm looking forward to book 7!

Love this series

It just keeps getting better with each installment offering a few new clues to the spiritual battle the team is fighting. I love a good mystery and can't wait to get to the bottom of this one

[Karen · Rating 4 out of 5]

This amalgamation of great Christian fiction writers has produced a thought provoking and entertaining series about the battle for good and evil. The characters are as diverse as the authors. Your memory better be good if you wait too long between books in the series though.
