The second installment in the Harbingers series brings the team into even more danger and turmoil while testing their faith in each other and a higher power.

Bill Myers starts things off this round with The Revealing, where the team has traveled to Rome to find a mystical spear that is thought to have been used by Hitler and as well as have pierced the side of Christ during the crucifixion.  The team has to travel through hidden chambers to avoid those sent to keep them from accomplishing their goals.  Frank Peretti continues the story in Infestation.  In this installment, the team has to tackle a monster that is unlike anything anyone has ever seen before.  In Infiltration, Angela Hunt takes the team to rest after being attacked and wounded.  Finally, Alton Gansky’s The Fog brings forth a supernatural mist that attacks anything in comes in contact with, including the team and those they are trying to protect.

In another interesting compilation, these four authors are brought together to do what they do best, tell supernatural thrilling stories that will leave the audience thirsting for more. You have to enjoy the paranormal and supernatural to enjoy this book.  The authors all write with such creative power in their characters and how they tell their stories it will bring everything together as if it isn’t unbelievable.  For some, this might not be considered a Christian book with the way it gets so dark, but there is a spiritual element to it that the audience will resonate with.  These four authors are the top in Christian supernatural fiction and bringing them together gives a tale like no other.  Each author gives his/her unique voice and writing style to a different character that brings the whole group together and ties the different elements of the story in a nice little bow.  If this were another set of authors, I don’t believe it would work.  These four have found a way to come together and weave a story that is worth reading and waiting for more to come.  I recommend this to readers that enjoy a deep, dark, supernatural thriller that will test the limits of your imagination and leave you aching for more.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher. The views and opinions expressed within are my own.
