From Amazon.com

Under cover of darkness, something evil is at work in Hyde River, an old mining town deep in the mountains. Its latest victim, nature photographer Cliff Benson, was brutally killed while camping -- and his wife Evelyn has been driven nearly mad by what she saw, but she can't remember what it was. The sheriff thinks a rogue bear killed Cliff. But townspeople whisper -- and Cliff's death is just the latest in a long string of bizarre "accidents." Cliff's brother Steve is determined to find out the truth about what's concealed in the old caverns near Hyde River, a mystery that the local folk legends only hint at. --Ce texte provient d'une édition qui n'est plus publiée ou qui est non diponible.


From Booklist

A wildlife biologist named Steve Benson has come to the remote mountain town of Hyde River to investigate the gruesome death of his brother. Benson tracks down and kills a grizzly, but then more people are killed and the bears are exonerated. Benson begins to listen with seriousness to the ravings of an old hermit who says that there's a dragon who lives in Saddlehorse Mountain and who lives on sin. It seems that in the 1880s, when Hyde River was a booming mining town, a fire-and-brimstone preacher was hanged, and the perpetrators then signed an oath embracing Reason as their god. In more than 100 years, their sins have grown into a monster. Steve tracks the chimerical dragon, which toys with him and lets him go. Steve is the embodiment of reason but feels the weight of sin when he begins an affair with a married woman, a local deputy named Tracy. A red mark appears over his heart, and gradually it begins to ooze black slime. Judgment Day arrives, and the dragon comes to claim its own. Steve, at last a believer, stands alone to do battle, rather like Bilbo Baggins of The Hobbit, except that Peretti writes with a grim fervor rather than playfulness. Largely because of the success of This Present Darkness (1987), Peretti's name inspires awe in the religious publishing world; The Oath is so heavily anticipated that its prepublication sales placed it fifth on the Evangelical Christian best-seller list.

5.0étoiles sur 5 My first novel!, Juil 16 2004
This review is from: The Oath (Paperback)
This was the first large novel I ever read and I really, really enjoyed it. Ever since I have been turned onto reading because of it. The writing isn't complex but very descriptive. The plot absolutely rocks! Its not as scary as some people say, at least it wasnt for me but for creepiness its a great read and highly recommended.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Mixed feelings, Jui 2 2004
Par Un client
This review is from: The Oath (Paperback)
The book I am reading is very interesting at the beginning but then again very confusing I don't know if it is because of me or just it really is confusing.
At the beginning of the book it starts out with somone running like crazy from somthing but it does not say what so you are very confused for the first chapter until you get to the second chapter which is lableded The Bear. I like this book though accept the fact I think this book is way to long for the topic. There is talk about Cliff a guy that was killed while camping at the beginning the sheriff thinks it's a bear but there is talk that it something. At the beginning I thought that it was a bear but then I started to have mixed feelings about this thing that killed cliff I am beginning to think that it is something else. Also I think that the author should have explained a little more at the beginning bu then again I think he did a googd job because I want to read more.

5.0étoiles sur 5 First One I Read, and Now I LOVE Frank's Books!, Mars 29 2004
Par "ktjo" (Fort Dodge, IA USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: The Oath (Paperback)
This book was the first one I ever read of Peretti's. I am not phased by violence, and in fact I love all the scary mixes in the story. It made it interesting. I love Frank Peretti's writing because he's not hesitant to put "scary stuff" in his books. I love that about him! I love his books because they are a little freaky. His books show me every time, that no matter what, evil never prevails, and that out of evil can come much good! The frightfulness of his books draw people in. For example, when I was reading The Oath(and I read it in five days flat it was so exciting) a friend of mine asked me about it. They read the back and thought it looked awesome. It wasn't the "Christian Aspects" of the story that drew her to the story. It was the fact that it looked exciting, and Frank Peretti is indeed a great fiction writer. Non-Christians can enjoy this book to the fullest and be spoken to at the same time. The fact that Frank Peretti doesn't "Christianize" his books is AWESOME! Meaning, he doesn't push Christianity on people to the point a non-believer won't listen anymore. He draws you into an exciting and invigorating story that is hard to put down. And without knowing it, those stories speak to the people reading them in ways they didn't expect when they first opened it up. The Oath, This Present Darkness, Piercing The Darkness, Hangman's Curse, Nightmare Academy, and The Wounded Spirit are all the books I've read from him, and so far not one of them has disappointed me. Everyone spoke to me in some way, and I can't wait to read the rest of the books he's got out there!
