Oracle

Thomas Olde Heuvelt, 1983-

Book - 2024

On a foggy winter morning two children discover the impossible: the wreck of an eighteenth-century ship stranded in a field. One enters the hatch on the deck and is never seen again. And she isn't the last to disappear. Soon a government agency begins to investigate, determined to uncover the ship's secrets before a media storm erupts. They enlist Robert Grim, a retired specialist of the occult, to unravel the mystery, who soon realises the ship could be a harbinger of an ancient doom awakened under the sea. In a maelstrom of international intrigue and pure terror, Grim must race against time as he comes face to face with an open doorway to the apocalypse.

Review by Library Journal Review

On a foggy winter morning, Luca and Emma find The Oracle (a ship that sank in 1716) dropped, in perfect condition, onto an empty field. When Emma climbs through the ship's hatch, an eerie bell rings, and she disappears without a trace. Ten more people will disappear through the hatch before a secret Dutch security agency closes off the site and begins to cover up the horrific truth of what is happening. Robert Grim is living in Atlantic City, paid to keep what he knows about Black Springs, NY, quiet, but this broken man is called to go back into service once again, as all of humanity is in danger of drowning in an ancient evil. Told in the style of an international thriller and featuring a huge cast of well-developed characters, the novel is a deep dive into how the tendrils of the past can reach out and force humanity to heed a warning. Fans of Olde Heuvelt's Hex will be happy to see Grim back after a long absence, but this time the threat is much broader in scope. VERDICT Suggest to fans of popular horror/thriller series by Christopher Golden, Chuck Wendig, and Mira Grant.
