Infestation

Hybrids

On a supposed vacation, the Harbingers encounter two unnerving black‑eyed children who seem more than human. As eerie events escalate, the team must decide whether the kids are victims or agents of a deeper, encroaching darkness.
Series background & context
Harbingers is a collaborative series from Bill Myers, Frank Peretti, Angela Hunt, and Alton Gansky that reads a bit like a television show told in prose. Each short novel, or “episode,” is written in first person from the viewpoint of one recurring character, and together they follow a small team drawn together to confront growing pockets of darkness around the world.
The core cast includes Brenda, a street‑wise tattoo artist who sometimes sees flashes of the future; the Professor, an atheist ex‑priest ruled by logic; Andi, his brilliant but socially awkward assistant who spots hidden patterns; and Tank, a gentle giant with a childlike faith and an unusual healing gift. None of them fully understands why they were chosen, but their strengths and weaknesses fit together in surprising ways.
Early cycles throw the team into eerie situations that feel both contemporary and otherworldly. They answer a call to help a student at an institute studying psychic abilities and discover sinister strings attached. They investigate a reappearing house tied to unexplained deaths, a worldwide die‑off of animals, a barefoot girl who may not be from this world, and a microscopic infestation unleashed from caves once used for occult rituals.
As the episodes progress, a larger arc emerges. Someone—or something—is orchestrating these crises, testing the boundaries between science and sorcery, natural and supernatural. The team wrestles with exhaustion, doubt, and clashing personalities even as they keep pushing back against schemes that, if unchecked, could spread far beyond the people directly involved in each case.
Harbingers carries a clear Christian worldview, but it usually shows that through character and consequence rather than long explanations. The result is a blend of suspense, horror, humor, and found‑family dynamics. If you enjoy spiritual thrillers that feel like watching a serialized show—each installment its own story yet all contributing to a bigger picture—this background will help you navigate the cycles and find Frank Peretti’s contributions within the mix.
