Monster / The Visitation

En savoir plus sur le livre

The sleepy, eastern Washington wheat town of Antioch has suddenly become a gateway for the supernatural-from sightings of angels and messianic images to a weeping crucifix. Then a self-proclaimed prophet mysteriously appears with an astounding message. The national media and the curious all flock to the little town-a great boon for local business but not for Travis Jordan. The burned-out former pastor has been trying to hide his past in Antioch. Now the whole world is headed to his backyard to find the Messiah, and in the process, every spiritual assumption he has ever held will be challenged. The startling secret behind this visitation ultimately pushes one man into a supernatural confrontation that will forever alter the lives of everyone involved. Reed Shelton organized this survival weekend. Hired the best guide in the region. But little did they know that surviving the elements would become the least of their worries. During their first night of camping, an unearthly wail pierces the calm of the forest. Then something emerges from the dense woods and begins pursuing them. They aren't the only ones doing the hunting. Something much faster, more relentless- and definitely not human-has begun to hunt them. Frank Peretti is at the top of his game in this New York Times best-selling novel of 'survival of the fittest.' Nothing is as it first appears in this thriller where things that go bump in the night are only a heartbeat away.
