Black by Ted Dekker (2004, Unabridged, Audio Cassette)

After reading Thr3e, this book series finished sealed my fate as a Dekker fan. In Black: The Birth of Evil, the first novel of The Circle Trilogy, the character, Hunter wakes up in a world that is somehow parallel to ours. His destiny is to save ours, but will he survive the other one? Mixing writers, C.S. Lewis or J.R.R. Tolkein with Robert Ludlum (The Hades Factor) starring Chuck Norris and Jet Lee comes a blockbuster story that probes the soul and penetrates the heart like no other novel I’ve known. I drive a truck and listen to a lot of audio, this one kept the truck moving. If you get the audio version, the unabridged version is a must have. Rob Lamont does an outstanding job performing the narration, together him and Dekker make an unbeatable team.

Black begins The Circle Trilogy by Ted Dekker. Man what a mind this guy has.
I wasn't sure what to expect when I began this book; it was the first book by Ted Dekker that I had read. I am now a true Ted Dekker fan and have started reading the rest of his books.
This book begins the story of a man that wakes in another world when he sleeps in this world. A virus is about to ravage mankind here, while in the other world, evil is being released on the people of another time. The story is much a metaphor for the birth of evil in the garden of eden; but do not be afraid to read this if you are not a christian. It is a wonderful story by a christian author, but it does not push the christian message; more so, it just maintains a clean (no cursing, etc.) layout that can be enjoyed by anyone.
The story is absolutely incredible and I jumped right into book 2 of the trilogy as soon as I was done with this one.
An absolutely incredible story with perfect suspense, creative character development and never ending action.
If you are even reading this review because you think you may be interested in this trilogy, READ THIS BOOK!
