Publisher's summary

The Veritas Project team has a new assignment: to find the truth behind the mysterious disappearance of two runaways. When one runaway turns up totally out of his mind and a government agent steps in to take over the case, the Springfields continue their own investigation. The twins—Elijah and Elisha—go undercover, posing as runaways. What happens next will keep listeners on the edges of their seats as the twins end up in a strange academy where truth is continually challenged, a gang-like war develops, and Elijah is taken to an ominous mansion from which no one has ever returned. A great thriller with a realistic look at right and wrong.

Great story. My only complaints are for whoever ripped the CDs to Audible

Great story. I’ve read this one many times since I was a kid. Frank Peretti was ahead of his time with this one. Very potent to today’s culture.
It would be nice if the book went a bit longer and deeper, but it is a book for teens so shorter may be better.
I enjoy Frank Peretti’s narration as well. There are some great sound effects too.

Just as with Hangman’s Curse, this has been obviously ripped from the same audio used for the CDs. There are at least two places it talks about putting in a new CD. There are also places where there’s a transition to a new book section or POV and there’s little gap in the speaking, making it a bit awkward.

Overall great book, I’m just a touch annoyed that they didn’t edit the audio for audible better.

Rings true to today's education swamp

Don't rely on the educational system to provide truth to your children. It is more and more designed to teach the truth the system wants your children and future generations to know. There is truth only in the Lord God and He will keep you free. Rely on Him.

Read by author

I particularly enjoy books read by the author because there is no opportunity for someone to misrepresent the emotions. I recommend this book to all of my English students but would recommend it to everyone. Deep philosophical ideas are presented through a gripping narrative.
