Book Description
Never break the circle.
For two realities, time is running out.
In one world, a lethal virus threatens to destroy all life as scientists and governments scramble to find an antidote. In the other, a forbidden love could forever destroy the ragtag resistance known as The Circle.
Thomas can bridge both worlds, but he is quickly realizing that he may not be able to save either.
In the mind-bending conclusion to the Circle trilogy, Thomas must find a way to rewrite history as he navigates a whirlwind of emotions and events surrounding a pending apocalypse.
The fate of two worlds comes down to one mans choice--and it is a most unlikely choice indeed.
Life. Death. Love. Nothing is as it seems. Yet all will forever be transformed by the decisions of one man in the final hours of the Great Pursuit.

The final chapter in a most intriguing and fascinating story, Oct 16 2004
By Michael Erisman - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: White (Hardcover)
This is the third book in a series, so if you are reading this and are unfamiliar with the series, the first recommendation is to start at the first book titled: Black.This three part story is quite unusual, even for the genre it represents, which can best be described as a science fiction/fantasy/suspense allegory of the Christian faith. As such, the imagery and way in which the story unfolds is quite powerful, and often shocking.
I am glad I waited several weeks after reading this book to write the review as I have found that images have stuck with me, and become clearer as time passes. This in itself is high praise for a novel, as many are discarded mentally as soon as they are finished.
In this final chapter of the saga we find the lead character still switching back and forth from two different worlds through the gateway in his dreams. On modern day earth a terrorist has unleashed a biological weapon that has infected most of the world's population, and has the anti-dote in exchange for the nuclear power of the world's nations. In the alternate world, Hunter, is still leading a small band in an attempt from being slaughtered by the enemy. Without giving away too much, he finds himself with a most unusual and conflicting situation: he has fallen for the daughter of his enemy. The entire enemy is diseased, and has an actually quite revoltingly described skin condition, and this daughter is no different, so he must look past this and try and rescue her before he himself and his small group are wiped out.
Sound strange? You bet. There is nothing remotely normal about this story or the depictions and events. It sends emotionally conflicting messages continuously. This is why it works so well as an allegory. The writing is superb; fast paced, and always leaves the reader on the edge of the seat. Ted Dekker is a writer of rare creativity and imagination.
Start with the first book, read the story all the way through the three books: Black, Red and White, (now no having to wait months between releases) and enjoy the plot and suspense. The deeper meaning becomes clear long after the story is finished. Well done.

Exceptional Series, Oct 16 2004
By F. Davis - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: White (Hardcover)
All the things I love all in one place ~ Spirituality ~ Science Fiction ~ Time Travel/Alternate Reality combined with Romance, Suspense and Intrigue. What a series! I was lucky to read all three books at once without having to wait. I zoomed through them and was very pleased with the ending as sad as I was to see it. Ted Dekker has an incredible gift of going where no one has ever been and taking you with him. I am a new fan and highly recommend this book. Be sure and start with "Black" first!

A satisfying conclusion to the blockbuster trilogy, Oct 4 2004
By Brian Reaves - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: White (Hardcover)
If you've followed Thomas Hunter's story from the first two books of the series, you don't need me to tell you how much of a buildup we had getting to this book (if you haven't read the other two yet, DO IT NOW!). Everything is taken care of in this final book, with the numerous plot threads all neatly tucked in before the final page. Ted Dekker has firmly established himself as one of the best Christian fiction authors out there, and this trilogy will only further cement that sentiment.While Thomas Hunter's story is told, I'd love to see Ted do this again in the future. While I know it has to be exhausting, an in-depth storyline like this is rare in novels today. Great work on this trilogy! Highly recommended.
