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.

This Present Darkness rivals The Screwtape Letters with its keen insight into spiritual warfare and the necessity of prayer. It is fast-moving, riveting reading ranking with the best thrillers on the bookshelf. This stunning audio abridgment in three CDs, presented with dramatic sound effects and music and read by the author himself, brings to life all the thrills and excitement of Frank Peretti’s first #1-selling novel.
