"Circle" trilogy by Ted Dekker

Post by deer of the dawn »

I only have a minute to post this, but I wondered it anyone else read this.

The books are called Red, Black, and [/i]White.[/i]

I thought Red and Black were the coolest things I had read in years. I was disappointed in White. Anyone else?

I read the trilogy, and I think his writing is very different. Can't quite put a finger on it. Some of his following books are in the same world however, so if you enjoyed the trilogy as a whole, you might be interested in his other books (I can think of Showdown as one).

I have read all of Ted's stuff.
He is a great talent. The circle trilogy is certainly worth reading. He has recently wriiten four more books in the series - Chosen, Infidel, Renegade & Chaos. Certainly adds more colour to the original three books.
he has also wriiten other books in a series of Paradise books: Saint, Sinner, Showdown & Skin - these all relate to the books of history theme and tie into the overall theme of the circle trilogy. it is also worth noting that different characters in these books have alter ego's or doubles in others.

It may be worth dropping into the Ted Dekker website to get a handle on what other stuff is out there. there is alo a forum with lots of good debate etc. address is:
