Publisher's summary

Ashton is just a typical small town. But when a skeptical reporter and a prayerful pastor begin to compare notes, they suddenly find themselves fighting a hideous New Age plot to subjugate the townspeople, and eventually the entire human race.

Amazing!

I had read the book many years ago and now I listened to the author himself read the book with lots of drama and meaning. I read it all today! It really reminds me of how important prayer is. I will share this book for sure

Great book

Wonderful book, expertly presented. A spiritual thriller which was great to read in 1989 and good to hear abridged.

Exceptional Spiritual Warfare

The book held my attention from the first page to the last. If you want to know about the real spiritual realms and the battles between angels and demons, this is the book to read.

Great Story

Frank Pretty is a prolific writer and an amazing narrater. I will recommend this to anyone who is aware that there is a spiritual world and that it does interact with our physical world. The story is a powerful work of fiction that will have you on the edge of your seat. Mystery abound throughout this novel.

Hard to hear

I was excited to hear this story because it is read by the author, a local guy, “who made it big”. But it was really hard to hear it over the background noise and I did t realize that the story was abridged. I have found the whole story and I am listening to it now. It is just as good as I remember it being. I just wish the background music hadn’t been so loud and the whole story had been presented.

Wonderful book! Amazing Performance!

I'm not a reader, but this series I have read a number of times. I truly enjoyed the story. It's interesting how it depicts the spiritual world and how it interacts with our world.
Because I enjoy this series I decided to get the book. Great performance with music and different voices. I would highly recommend this book, reading or listening.
