Invitation by Bill Myers, Frank Peretti, Angela Hunt and Alton Gansky - REVIEWED

About the Book:

Four Strangers with Gifts They Don't Understand. 
A World Falling into Darkness. 
This is Harbingers.

You're invited on a journey of suspense and the supernatural as four of your favorite bestselling authors team up for a unique series. 

From the minds of Bill Myers, Frank Peretti, Angela Hunt, and Alton Gansky, Invitation compiles the first four episodes of Harbingers, each following a different character. 

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 naïve, big-hearted jock with a surprising connection to a healing power

Brought together for the first time in "The Call," the four soon realize pockets of darkness are emerging throughout the world. Whether it involves a mysterious house, the unexplainable death of animals around the world, or an otherworldly little girl, each puzzle they solve brings them closer to the ultimate explanation of what's happening. But will they discover the truth in time?

My Thoughts:

This is a masterpiece!  One story layered upon another, masterfully told by the best storytellers in the world!  This is a supernatural thriller like none I've ever read!   Imagine spiritual warfare raging about both believers and non-believers.  The characters in the story span all of this and more, and their reactions to the stories unfolding around them are realistic and believable.  Each character has a very unlikely connection to each other, and they become able to use their particular talents and strengths to help each other survive some very unbelievable situations!

There is really no way to describe this very special collection.  If you enjoy lots of action, unexpected plot twists and quirky, well developed characters, this is a series you can sink your teeth into! I'm sorry I'm late posting this, but a family emergency is keeping me a tad disjointed right now.  This is a good book to escape with when you need a mental break!
