Unleashed from caves used for occult rituals, a microscopic evil invades the world--an infestation that deceives, blinds, kills, and then spreads and kills again. Is it natural, supernatural, or both? An embittered Professor McKinney must rejoin the Harbingers team in order to discover the truth and confront a monster bent on destroying humankind.

Nada interesante había ocurrido hasta ahora en el pequeño pueblo agrícola de Antioch, al este del estado de Washington. Antioch se volvió de repente un portal a lo sobrenatural, donde hay desde apariciones de ángeles e imágenes mesiánicas que se materializan en el cielo hasta un crucifijo que llora con poder para sanar. Sin embargo, estos milagros son solo el principio de algo mucho más grande: el regreso del Mesías como fue profetizado en la Biblia. Luego un profeta que se proclama como tal aparece misteriosamente en un rancho local con un mensaje, pero... ¿es de Dios? En busca de respuestas y de milagros, los medios de comunicación nacionales y los curiosos se agrupan en el olvidado pueblo. Pero lo que es grandioso para el comercio local tiene el efecto opuesto en Travis Jordan, el exministro extenuado que ha tratado de esconder su pasado en Antioch. Ahora todo el mundo se está encaminando a su traspatio para encontrar al Mesías y, en el proceso, se ponen en evidencia las conjeturas espirituales que tuvo alguna vez. El secreto inesperado detrás de esta visitación empuja finalmente a un hombre a una confrontación sobrenatural que cambiará para siempre la vida de todos los implicados. La visitación es una lucha épica entre las fuerzas del bien y del mal que lo mantendrá leyendo sus páginas, y que hará que su corazón palpite hasta altas horas de la noche.

Four books in one! Five characters--with gifts they do not fully understand-- are mysteriously brought together to battle growing pockets of darkness throughout the world: Brenda-the street-hustling tattoo artist who sees images of the future. The Professor-the atheist ex-priest ruled by logic. Andi-the professor''s brilliant-but-geeky assistant who sees inexplicable patterns. Tank-the naive, big-hearted jock with a surprising connection to a healing power. Daniel-the institutionalized ten-year-old who can see into the supernatural world. LEVIATHAN: The team is flown to Hollywood as honored guests to watch the taping of the new TV pilot, Live or Die, the Ultimate Reality. Little do they realize the depths of darkness they are about to enter -- a darkness that, unless they stop it, will soon spread across the globe. THE MIND PIRATES: An earring with mysterious powers, bizarre visions and memories of a murder, and a kidnapping by 17th Century pirates hurl the Harbinger team into a 21st Century mystery involving international finance, high tech piracy, and the ruthless scheming of an evil, hidden nemesis. HYBRIDS: Why does the sight of two children chill Andi''s bones? Once again, the team meets at Andi''s grandparents'' home for some much-needed rest and relaxation. But the professor seems preoccupied with more than the academic speech he has to deliver, and when some mysterious black-eyed children visit the woman next door, Andi and her friends are caught up in a situation unlike any they have experienced thus far. THE VILLAGE: The team arrives in Newland, North Carolina, confused, uncertain, and emotionally wounded. Expecting the kind of warm greeting that is legendary in southern towns, they find instead a village whose people want nothing more than to force the "tourists" to move on, something our team refuses to do. Then, in a blink of an eye, a painful transition takes place. Everything changes-and not for the good. Newland has become New Land, a place similar to the one where they had just spent the night. Sadly, similar isn''t enough. With the help of someone they remember as a lost little girl, they undertake the most challenging mystery they''ve ever faced. They must succeed; the lives of scores of people as well as their own depend on the solving of a problem they barely understand. The clock is running out for them and it is running fast."

Dane en Mandy was vir byna 30 jaar ʼn gewilde kulkunstenaarspaar. Hulle beplan om af te tree, maar dan sterf Mandy in ’n motorongeluk. Terwyl hy sy vrou se dood probeer verwerk, stem Dane teësinnig in toe ’n vriend voorstel dat hy ’n nuwe kulkunstenaar se optrede bywoon. Hy is verstom oor die kulkuns wat hy sien, illusies wat selfs hy, ʼn gesoute kulkunstenaar, nie kan verduidelik nie. Maar bowenal word hy verstom deur die 19-jarige kunstenaar – wat in elke opsig identies is aan sy vrou, 40 jaar gelede. DIE ILLUSIE is Frank Peretti se verhaal oor liefde, verlies en genesing vol kinkels en misterie.
