The latest spine-chilling horror thriller from the Hugo award-winning author, Thomas Olde Heuvelt. Perfect for fans of Neil Gaiman, Adam Nevill and Stephen King. 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.

-
Robert Grim is back. With the same cynical worldview and a blatant contempt for authority. Only a true cult hero deserves such a comeback from the ashes - de Volkskrant
-
Oracle is a combination of styles and genres. The prose is cinematic, and you would expect the story to propel towards one single roaring climax. But Oracle contains at least six of those grand finales - de Volkskrant
-
Exceptionally good. There is no other Dutch author of speculative fiction or thrillers who can match Olde Heuvelt. This book is breathtaking: you feel the storm roaring through the pages - Algemeen Dagblad

When reading Oracle readers can expect appealing heroes and a remarkable reading experience in a world in which past and present intertwine. You won't forget this book anytime soon - Trouw
-
Olde Heuvelt manages to take lovers of suspense on an extraordinary ride again and again - Gelderlander

Oracle is cleverly construed and firmly anchored in today's world. Olde Heuvelt leads the life of a literary rock star - Humo (Belgium)
-
Oracle is a solid story against a familiar Dutch backdrop. The misty fields, de threat of dyke failures, the ever raging North Sea. Olde Heuvelt draws up extremely convincing characters though subtle, natural dialogue - KnackFocus.be (Belgium)
