A strange phone call awakens Tom Harding one morning. As a reporter for his high school’s newspaper, The Sentinel, his curiosity is aroused. But when an ethereal fog envelops a strange yet somehow familiar woman in front of his house, the strange moves to bizarre and then horrific. Although his house is empty, he receives a peculiar message from his deceased brother, “find the warrior,” and “don’t give into despair.” Tom decides to seek the truth above all else and embarks on an amazing and dangerous quest. But will the truth set Tom free in time?
Nightmare City features a highly creative plot laced with high tension and suspense. Issues of life and death, courage and truth challenge the protagonist to his core, and keeps readers thinking and guessing and turning the pages. The subtle spiritual truths are also powerful as readers will be challenged to “play the bigger game,” and “be the excellent person God made you to be.” This is another great read from Andrew Klavan.
