Product Description
Synopsis
Something sinister is at work in Hyde River, an isolated old mining town in the mountains of the Pacific Northwest. Something evil. Under the cover of darkness, it strikes without warning, taking life in the most chilling and savage fashion. The latest victim, nature photographer Cliff Benson, was brutally killed while camping in the mountains. The harder townsfolk are pressed for information, the more they close ranks, as if sworn to secrecy. The discovery of the old letters and diaries of the town's fore-fathers begin to peel away the layers of mystery surrounding Hyde River. What is discovered is a predator more terrifying than anything they had imagined and a town in the grip of unspeakable evil.

Format:Hardcover
"The Oath" is a great book about sin and the saving power of Jesus. The story is well told as are all of Frank Peretti's books. Heart pounding action and a good way to make one stop and think about the effects of sin on one own's life. The book is a bit slow at first, but the pace picks up real fast. It was truly hard to put this book down!

I have read This Present Darkness, Piercing The Darkness and The Prophet. This book has Mr. Peritte's style and craft at keeping you in suspense down to the last page. After reading the teaser from the Visitation, I want to get this book too. Keep on writing Frank.

Having read 'This Present Darkness' and 'Piercing the Darkness'also by Frank Peretti this was a total change of style yet just as gripping. Once I had got into the story (his books take a little while setting the scene)I could not put the book down and felt swept up in the fast moving storyline and emotions of the characters.

A Gripping Tale of Men and Monsters
A different direction from the 'Darkness' tales and a vast leap away from the 'political' Prophet. This Novel is, for sure, my favorite. Read more
