Our view
“Red”, the second volume of Ted Dekker’s “Circle” trilogy, raises the stakes set by “Black” in both of its worlds. Thomas Hunter, who has let death loose in two realities, bargains with world powers in one and leads a handful of fighters in the other. Some readers are simply carried away; others value the questions it asks about whether a faith is lived or only worn as a label.

About the book
Red recounts the heroic rescue attempts of Thomas Hunter to save both worlds. With the devastating realization that he has unleashed death into both worlds, he now must figure out how to undo this evil-while trying to save his true love. From meeting with world powers in one world to leading a small band of mighty warriors in the great forests of the other world, Thomas is determined to change the history of two realities-or sacrifice all in trying. "We have stepped off the cliff and are falling into madness." The mind-bending pace of Black accelerates in Red, Book Two of Ted Dekker's groundbreaking Circle trilogy. Less than a month ago, Thomas Hunter was a failed writer selling coffee at the Java Hut in Denver. Now he finds himself in a desperate quest to rescue two worlds from collapse. In one world, he's 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. Two worlds on the brink of destruction. One unthinkable solution. Enter an adrenaline-laced epic where dreams and reality collide. Nothing is as it seems, as Black turns to Red. - Publisher.
