From the author of The Blackstone Chronicles, comes another classic horror story, The Presence by John Saul. Chilling elements in this frightening novel include a strange archaeological discovery and secret medical experiments on an island paradise. A young anthropologist cannot pass up the chance to study remains on a desert island. But for her son, the move is jarring as he is still dealing with the death of his father. Beyond the sparkling beaches and beautiful rainforest lies a terrible danger. the Hawaiian islands are the backdrop for this thriller and the depths of the Pacific hold a substance more deadly than the lava flowing from undiscovered fissures in the ocean flow.
The lab where young anthropologist Katherine is working holds a deadly secret. Secret deliveries in the dead of night signal something sinister. While her son has made a friend, that friend mysteriously dies and a disturbing truth starts to emerge.... and Katherines son may be part of the hideous grand plan. Worse, his chance of survival is very low..... is something following them? Shivers are creeping up their spines and soon they realize they have been exposed to The Presence.
