About this ebook
Three novels. Two worlds. One Story.
Enter an adrenaline-laced epic where dreams and reality collide.
Black - An incredible story of evil and rescue, betrayal and love, and a terrorist threat unlike anything the human race has ever known. A virulent evil has been unleashed upon the people of Earth. The only man who can stop it is Thomas Hunter, an unlikely hero whose life is stretched between two worlds. Every time he falls asleep in one reality, he awakes in the other. Soon Thomas no longer knows which reality is real. Yet it quickly becomes apparent that his choices in each world impact the other--and that the fates of both rest in his hands.
Red - In one world, Thomas Hunter is a battle-scarred general commanding an army of primitive warriors. In the other, he's racing to outwit sadistic terrorists intent on creating global chaos through an unstoppable virus. Thomas must find a way to change history--or face the destruction of two worlds.
White - Thomas Hunter has only days to survive two separate realms of danger, deceit, and destruction. The fates of both worlds now rest on his unique ability to shift realities through his dreams. Thomas and The Circle must quickly decide who they can trust--both with their own lives and the fate of millions. And neither the terror of Black nor the treachery of Red can prepare Thomas for the forces aligned against The Circle in White.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This series of books, which includes Black, Red, White, and Green is the most brilliant series of books I've ever read! There are other books by this author that tie in to this series: Showdown, Saint, & Sinner (The Paradise Novels). How an author can keep up with so many tiny details that span over 7 novels and two separate series and tie them all together in the end is beyond me. I find it fascinating. Even if the books aren't your cup of tea, surely you must be able to appreciate such brilliant writing. Also interesting to note: Many other books by this author also contain references to this series.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Dekker's Circle trilogy is really one long book -- the story doesn't pause between the volumes -- that creates a redemption history for an alternative world. This is not a new concept; C.S. Lewis did it in his Out of the Silent Planet (sacrifice and redemption); Perelandra (possible Fall); and That Hideous Strength (Apocalypse), the first two of which are more thoughtful books than this trilogy (and the last is much worse). Dekker's trilogy is ordered chronologically; it runs Black (Fall); Red (sacrifice and redemption); and White (recognition that the Good News is for all the nations). All of that runs simultaneously with a poorly-conceived 'race against time' thriller set in our modern world.The writing is so-so, and lacks imagination. The portrayal of humans in the Garden is disconcerting; for example, joy is described as out-of-control, rolling-on-the-floor laughter, as opposed to deep contentment. The possibility of an aesthetically satisfying story is regularly broken down by the author's commitment to reflect a specific Christian worldview. For example, after the Fall, when major characters encounter God, they invariably fall on their knees and sob with guilt and regret for having disappointed Him, while He tells them, "You don't need to cry; I love you, I created you, I have forgiven you." It's a narrow spectrum of the possible relationships a human can have with the Divine, but it's pretty much what you get in this narrative world. Similarly, God's self sacrifice and resurrection, and various characters' subsequent tribulations, are heavy handed and perverse; they only work in the narrative if as a reader you already believe that, to be considered 'Christian', this work has to allow its protagonists to 'die in Christ'. If, on the other hand, you believe human beings in our world (or a hypothetical alternate world) can have a loving relationship with God without the intercession of a literal blood sacrifice -- or, indeed, if you're an agnostic -- this book will hardly convince you otherwise; I found it operated as a kind of anti-witness.At his best, Dekker is willing to renovate traditional dogma. For example, his allegory removes Eve as an actor in the Fall, transferring the burden squarely onto the shoulders of the Adam-analogue, who acts out of misguided hubris. Dekker also describes the relationship of God to His creation as 'the Great Romance', and asserts parallels to the love between adult partners (although, to be clear, the book entirely lacks same-sex couples). That's not a new idea, of course; it's at the heart of interpretations of the Song of Solomon; but it's nice to see the idea of erotic love used in an affirming way. That said, the book is incredibly chaste; two of the main characters have a couple kids along the way, but you'd never guess how from the text.
