The Oath

By: Frank E. Peretti

Narrated by: Tom Taylorson

A brutal killer lurks near Hyde River in the Pacific Northwest. When wildlife biologist Steve Benson is called in to investigate the latest murder, he discovers that the victim is his brother. But why are the terrorized townspeople silent—and unwilling to help?

Something evil is at work in Hyde River, an isolated mining town in the mountains of the Pacific Northwest. Under the cover of darkness, a predator strikes without warning—taking life in the most chilling and savage fashion.

The community of Hyde River watches in terror as residents suddenly vanish. Yet, the more locals are pressed for information, the more they close ranks, sworn to secrecy by their forefathers’ hidden sins.

Only when Hyde River’s secrets are exposed is the true extent of the danger fully revealed. What the town discovers is something far more deadly than anything they’d imagined. Something that doesn’t just stalk its victims—it has the power to turn hearts black with decay as it slowly fills their souls with darkness.

A metaphorical Horror story:a page turner

Perretti does a powerful job creating the tale of this mining town and its diverse characters succumbing to their sin and selfishness as a mythical creature brings terror to the community. If one does not understand “sin” and how it corrupts mankind, this is a good book to read. The hero, Professor Steve Benson, opens his psyche up to us, the reader and we get drawn into his inner world. Who is the savior in this tale? Read it and find out.
