About the author
Frank E. Peretti
85 books3,846 followersFROM HIS WEBSITE:
With more than 12 million novels in print, Frank Peretti is nothing short of a publishing phenomenon and has been called “America’s hottest Christian novelist.”
Peretti is a natural storyteller who, as a youngster in Seattle, regularly gathered the neighborhood children for animated storytelling sessions. After graduating from high school, he began playing banjo with a local bluegrass group. He and his wife were married in 1972, and Peretti soon moved from touring with a pop band to launching a modest Christian music ministry. Peretti later spent time studying English, screen writing and film at UCLA and then assisted his father in pastoring a small Assembly of God church. In 1983, he gave up his pastoring position and began taking construction jobs to make ends meet. While working at a local ski factory, he began writing This Present Darkness, the book that would catapult him into the public eye. After numerous rejections from publishers and a slow start in sales, word-of-mouth enthusiasm finally lifted This Present Darkness onto a tidal wave of interest in spiritual warfare. The book appeared on Bookstore Journal’s bestseller list every month for more than eight years. Peretti’s two spiritual warfare novels, This Present Darkness (1998) and Piercing the Darkness (1989), captivated readers, together selling more than 3.5 million copies. The Oath was awarded the 1996 Gold Medallion Award for best fiction.
For kids, Peretti wrote The Cooper Kids Adventure Series (Crossways and Tommy Nelson), which remains a best-selling series for children with sales exceeding 1 million copies. In August 2000, Peretti released the hilarious children’s audiocassette series titled Wild and Wacky Totally True Bible Stories, reprising his role as Mr. Henry, the offbeat substitute Sunday School teacher found in two Visual Bible for Kids videos.
Peretti released his first-ever non-fiction book, The Wounded Spirit in 2000, which quickly became a best-seller. The book addresses the pain of “wounded spirits” and was written as a result of painful childhood experiences.
Frank Peretti and his wife, Barbara Jean, live in the Western U.S. In spite of sudden fame and notoriety, Frank still lives a simple, well-rounded life that includes carpentry, banjo making, sculpturing, bicycling and hiking. He is also an avid pilot.

It took me a little while to get into this one. Andi's mind had been taken over by pirates and then she and the Professor get kidnapped by … pirates. Our fearless team continue their global adventure, this episode we see them in the Caribbean. Unlike most of the other episodes we get different perspectives from two different groups: the Professor's birds-eye view of his predicament as a captive on a pirate ship with Andi who has something locked in her brain the pirates desperately want.
The three others: Brenda, Tank and Daniel seek to find them which takes them eventually to Florida.
After the initial struggle the pieces begin to come together and the action ramps up as The Professor and Andi strive to use their respective strengths to get themselves away from the captors. The technology that underpins the story is pretty cool and adds intrigue to the suspense.
The ending was a little soft but it's clear we're getting closer to solving the riddle of The Gate.

Aye mates, a great adventure is in store for you!
I have read a lot of Frank Peretti's other books and have never been disappointed, and this episode in the series is no different. I have been pleased with each of the books so far in the way each author stays true to each of the characters personalities. This was a fast paced book that I didn't want to put down, just like all the previous books. I am looking forward to reading the rest of the series.

This series is exciting. I like how they build the characters. It makes the mystery and the story line one you can’t wait for the next addition.

This was the first book in the series I had read... It might have helped if I had know the characters, but not much... I found the pace of the book slow and the story uninteresting. I was very excited to find another book written by Frank Peretti as I have enjoyed all his other books - but this book for me was a huge disappointment.

Really enjoyed it!
I have really enjoyed this entire series and this book was no exception. I love that we are already familiar with all the characters.
