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.

Austen wrote, 'I am going to take a heroine whom no-one but myself will much like' and thus introduces the handsome, clever, rich - and flawed, Emma Woodhouse. Emma is perfectly content with her life and sees no need for either love or marriage; nothing however delights her more than matchmaking her fellow residents of Highbury. But when she ignores the warnings of her good friend Mr. Knightley and attempts to arrange a suitable match for her protegee Harriet Smith, her carefully laid plans soon unravel and have consequences that she never expected.

This rape case is different from most: the victim is more than willing to testify and there's ample evidence to put the suspect behind bars. But one thing gnaws at Detective Larry Millsaps - young and beautiful Melissa Nelson knows too much about the evidence needed to convict her attacker. Millsaps's investigation unearths the suspect's brutal track record, but also some stunning revelations about Melissa's own past. Caught in a deadly conflict between the ironies of the law and the demands of his Christian convictions, the detective finds himself protecting Melissa - even as evidence mounts that could imprison not only an inhuman criminal, but also the woman Millsaps has come to love.

A small section of vine with bloodstained thorns has been encased in candle wax for centuries - and some believe the blood came from Christ. Convicted killer and death-row inmate Michael Coleman agrees to have the genes from the mysterious blood planted into his body. The results are so astonishing that the research must continue outside prison walls. But nobody can predict what will happen when Coleman assumes a new identity and reenters society. Blood of Heaven delves deep into the human heart and examines the very nature of good versus evil.

Story
This book is the haunting true story of pain Frank Peretti never forgot but never, until recently, shared with the world. It's the story of growing up with a medical condition that left him disfigured. A series of surgeries and the slow miracle of answered prayer took care of the deformity, but not the underdeveloped frame or the excruciating reality of being different. And it was for these petty "crimes" that Peretti was prosecuted every day at school - especially in gym class, but also in the halls, on the school grounds, even in his own neighborhood.

This present darkness here today?
Listening to the spell binding unfolding of the spiritual war going on for the town of Ashton, I cannot help but wondering if this is going on right here and now for America. Frank Peretti is at his best in this spiritual warfare saga and in my opinion he does an excellent job in describing how Satan and his demons can get a foothold in people's lives and how they can influence people's decisions by painting a completely different picture of their appearance and the subleties of their deceptions. I hope people can use this bok as a guideline to the warfare that is going on right here among us. This book and it's sequel "Piercing the darkness" are two books no Christian should be without. I rank it right with C.S.Lewis' Screwtape letters.

Absolutely Captivating!
Upon downloading, I was skeptical I would stay interested for 16+ hours. But WOW! Jack Sondericker brought this story to LIFE! I couldn't wait to listen each time I had a spare moment. Frank Peretti's representation of spiritual warfare and the spiritual realm was so believable, I found myself bolder in prayer and more aware of these dynamics in my own life. This book, while "fiction" has really built my faith. I will passionately recommend this book/audio to others and I pray for the team that will someday produce a worthy movie.

This book is so descriptive, easy to envision each character, angel and demon. Two stories in one, a story of peoples lives in a small town as well as the demons and angels fighting against each other for us, demons to control us, and how our prayers help the angels defeat them.

Terrible sound
Very "tinny". Sounds like you are down in a can listening. Jack Sondricker's voice is great, bordering on a Paul Harvey type commentary. However the recording is at a very poor bit rate......Why?
Is it that hard to get a good recording in this day and age? Or was it cheaply done? I was very excited to see this book now done unabridged on Audible, but I am so disappointed in the sound. There is some improvement on the pc over the Android phone or Kindle.
Come on Audible, we are on your format now because of failing eyesight. The sound is everything!

Good, but I think it'll be better the second time
If you could sum up This Present Darkness in three words, what would they be?
SHIT! ANGELS! DEMONS!
Any additional comments?
I have mixed feelings about This Present Darkness. For me, the book suddenly started to get exciting around the halfway point, and I sort of felt like I was fumbling along and confused before that. There is a large cast, comprising much of the town, not to mention the angels and demons fighting for control. It's a little too easy to lose track, especially with (seemingly) random jumps in POV.
It all did seem to click around halfway, though, when characters really started sticking out and then the conspiracy began to unfold. The battle for Ashton came clearer, and I really began to enjoy what was going on. I have a feeling that this will be a book I enjoy much more the second time around.
I do want to give a caveat. This Present Darkness is pretty spiritual, overtly and in subtext. It doesn't go so far to be preachy, really. In fact, it's very deftly done. I just wanted to put that out there for anyone who isn't interested in that sort of thing. It didn't give me some strong religious experience or sway my mind in any way. But there is definitely a Christian theme.
