Synopsis

From international bestseller Thomas Olde Heuvelt comes Oracle, a supernatural thriller where an omen from our past threatens the return of ancient forces that will change the world forever.

On a foggy winter morning, high school kids Luca and Emma discover the impossible: the wreck of an eighteenth-century ship stranded in a flower field.

Emma 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, and he soon realizes the ship could be a harbinger of an ancient doom awakened under the sea.

In a maelstrom of international intrigue and pure terror, Grim and Luca must race against time as they come face-to-face with an open doorway to the apocalypse.

A Macmillan Audio production from Tor Nightfire.

Goodreads review by Justine on May 28, 2024

This was decent enough…but I didn’t really like it all that much (if that statement makes any sense at all)? I ran into the same problem with the writing style that I found with the author’s previous books, Hex and Echo, although I liked those better than Oracle. Namely, there is something a bit unpo......more

Goodreads review by Sietske (Chaptersofcrime) on April 09, 2022

Thomas Olde Heuvelt is een geliefde Nederlandse auteur en zijn boek Hex werd zo´n groot succes dat het boek ook in het buitenland is uitgeven. Als grote thrillerliefhebber heb ik geen enkel boek van hem gelezen en daarom was ik erg benieuwd naar Orakel, zeker na alle lovende reacties dat het boek he......more

Goodreads review by Alexandra - Alexs books and socks on April 16, 2021

Wat hebben we lang moeten wachten voor we Orakel konden lezen. Gelukkig was er de boektrailer, die is zo sterk, dat het hielp om geduld te hebben. Eindelijk is het dan zover. Orakel has arrived. Na Echo, ik liep toen zowat naar de boekhandel remember, was ik wel zo slim om Orakel gelijk te pre-order......more

Goodreads review by Floor on May 18, 2022

Gevalletje you love it or hate it. I love it. :) Mooi vervolg op Hex Bovennatuurlijke horror, beetje over de top misschien, maar ik vind dat juist wel leuk. Thomas houdt het met momenten luchtig, om vervolgens je weer volop mee te sleuren in de griezelige momenten. Niet zo eng dat je er van wakker li......more

Goodreads review by Rick on April 09, 2021

Evenaart Hex helaas bij lange na niet. Maar dat is dan ook een schier onmogelijke opgave. Begint goed, maar verzandt snel in langdradige avonturen van een niet echt uitgediept hoofdpersonage. Jammer, want de intermezzo's zijn weer erg goed.......more

Quotes

"Told in the style of an international thriller and featuring a huge cast of well-developed characters, the novel is a deep dive into how the tendrils of the past can reach out and force humanity to heed a warning”—Library Journal

Praise for Thomas Olde Heuvelt

“The long-awaited new novel from the Dutch author of Hex is an ambitious, capacious work. . . containing everything from psychological suspense to cosmic horror. With moments of wonder as well as terror, it looks likely to be one of the highlights of this year’s horror scene.”—The Guardian, on Echo

“Horrific, poignant, creepy, brilliantly written—expect to see it on bestseller lists and year’s end best lists, and hopefully awards consideration. Don’t sleep on this one.”—Jeff VanderMeer, on Echo

“Totally, brilliantly original.”—Stephen King, on Hex

“Creepy and gripping and original.” —George R.R. Martin, on Hex

“A touch of strangeness, of alienness, avoiding sub-Stephen King clichés. [Olde Heuvelt] has written five novels already, and publishers should be lining up to translate them.”—The Wall Street Journal, on Hex

“One of the most original, clever, and terrifying books to be published in the 21st century.”—New York Journal of Books, on Hex
