About this ebook
An omen from the past threatens to change the world forever.
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.

A fantastic page-turner from beginning to end! My only complaint is that it isn't long enough! Vibrant, fleshed-out characters give a reality that's hard to deny, and sweeps you up for the ride. You don't have to have read Hex before Oracle, but I recommend that you do, because Hex is also incredible, and if you're going to read both, it's probably better to read Hex first.
