Lis Wiehl with Pete Nelson in their new book, “Fatal Tide” Book Three in the East Salem series published by Thomas Nelson concludes the adventure in the town of East Salem.
From the back cover: In East Salem, the elite St. Adrian’s Academy is at the nexus of a satanic apocalypse—and the fatal tide is rising.
When Hieronymus Bosch’s Garden of Earthly Delights is reunited with the pagans who commissioned it, a dark prophecy begins to unfold in East Salem, beginning with a savage double-murder by hellish creatures straight out of the painting itself. The lone survivor of the attack, a seventeen-year-old Brit, finds sanctuary at Tommy Gunderson’s home—and the place is soon surrounded by demons who seem to be biding their time…but for how long?
Tommy’s pond has been contaminated with Provivilan—an insidious drug that could transform New York City’s children into an army of violence-addicted murderers. But for an occult cabal in the upper echelons of Linz Pharmaceuticals, contaminating the water supply is just part of an ancient conspiracy against all of humankind.
As the clouds gather, Tommy and Dani realize they must infiltrate Linz and St. Adrian’s to stop the dissemination of Provivilan. Even then, it could take a tangible eruption of the battle between angels and demons to save humanity from the supernatural evils that have been summoned to East Salem.
Everything comes down to breaking into St. Adrian’s Academy. Tommy and Danni must stop the contamination of the water supply with Provivilan and they must stop the demonic encroachment. This is it. Everything has built up to this and Ms. Wiehl and Mr. Nelson pull out all the stops for this story. There is spiritual warfare and standing up to man for what is right. “Fatal Tide” is a thriller, which simply means that everyone is in grave danger from, practically, the beginning. The authors give us a really complex mystery and sections of story that will chill you. “Fatal Tide” is full of twists and turns, with a few red herrings thrown in just to cause confusion. Dani and Tommy are warm and likable and we get engaged in their lives. This is an exciting book, extremely well paced and suspenseful. I am sorry to see this series end however I am looking forward to more from these talented authors.
