Monster

Local Description

Secondhand book

Reed Shelton organized this survival weekend. Hired the best guide in the region. Meticulously trained, studied, and packed while encouraging his wife, Beck, to do the same. But little did they know that surviving the elements would become the least of their worries. During their first night of camping, an unearthly wail pierces the calm of the forest. Then someone—no, something—emerges from the dense woods and begins pursuing them. Everything that follows is a blur to Reed—except for the unforgettable image of a huge creature carrying his wife into the darkness. Dependant on the efforts of a small town and a band of friends, Reed knows they have little time to find Beck. Even more important, he soon realizes that they aren't the only ones doing the hunting. Something much faster, more relentless—and definitely not human—has begun to hunt them.

Description

During survival training in the Idaho wilderness, policeman Reed Shelton and his wife, Beck, are attacked and separated by unidentified creatures. It's up to Reed to launch a search for his missing wife. But first he must convince the authorities that what he saw was real. As the investigation kicks off, detectives try to make sense of the story through forensic evidence, DNA analysis, and scientific speculation.

Meanwhile, Beck finds herself within an almost mythical wood of mystery, darkness, and peril. The creatures she encounters will rid her of all remaining delusions of a safe and knowable world.

Bestselling Christian author Peretti weaves another adventure thriller with a faith-based twist.
