Relation During Books Black: The Birth of Evil (The Circle #1)
Enter an adrenaline-laced epic where dreams and reality collide.Fleeing his assailants through deserted alleyways, Thomas Hunter narrowly escapes to the roof of a building. Then a silent bullet from the night clips his head...and his world goes black.
From the blackness comes an amazing reality of another world-a world where evil is contained. A world where Thomas Hunter is in love with a beautiful woman. Then he remembers the dream of the chase as he reaches to touch the blood on his head.
Where does the dream end and reality begin? Every time he falls asleep in one world, he awakes in the other-both facing catastrophic disaster. Thomas is being pushed beyond his limits...even beyond the limits of space and time.
Black is an incredible story of evil and rescue, betrayal and love, pursuit and death, and a terrorist's threat unlike anything the human race has ever known.
Some say the world hangs in the balance of every choice we make. Now the fate of two worlds hangs in the balance of one man's choice.

I would highly recommend this book to anyone I know. This was written about the Chronicles of Narnia on wikipedia.org but applies to the Color Trilogy as well: "The series contains many allusions to traditional Christian ideas,... however, the books can also be read purely for their adventure, colour, and richness of ideas." Even if you are not a Christian, I believe you will enjoy this book because it IS a metaphor. In fact, even as a Christian, I didn't understand what the metaphor was untilOkay, you guys. I really wanted to like this one. Friends had recommended it to me. It's one of Dekker's most popular series. I should be the right audience for this. The fictional version of Christian-living books? Left Behind-light? It's all more drama than scripture, but I'm here for the drama! I missed the Ted Dekker train when I was younger, and I was ready to take the plunge.Aaand sadly, it was a hard landing. I couldn't buy into it. From the very beginning I wasn't invested in the
This falls into my category of Brilliant Idea Executed Poorly. I have always had wicked vivid dreams, so novels about dreamscapes, dreams vs reality, dreams portending the future, etc, fascinate me. "Black" intrigued me enough that I forced myself to read six or seven chapters, then I was so irritated that I ranted about it to my poor husband for 20-30 minutes. What didn't I like? Characters who are at once both ridiculously unbelievable AND flat (our protagonist can't focus long enough to
The Circle series is a great read. For a religious writer, he's not preachy. Love the fantasy world, love the main characters, and love how long the series is as ONE big story that intertwines with his other book series.Read them all.
Black is a very strange story. The circular logic that pervades the narrative is quite fascinating yet confusing simultaneously. Thomas Hunter is shot in one world, only to wake up in another where a great evil is contained. This second world is chronologically past the first world. As Thomas takes information he learns in the second world to the first world, different threats awaken in both. This was a really cool idea, but also a very confusing idea. I am quite fascinated with the back and
Someone is shooting at Thomas Hunter. He runs for his lifezig-zagging, hiding, and executing some awesome martial artsas men chase him through the streets of Denver. But when a silent bullet grazes his head, his world goes black and he wakes up somewhere else. In darkness. He doesnt know where he is. Hideous bats chase him, clawing at him until he loses consciousness again and wakes up back in Denver, in an alley. He manages to get to his sisters apartment, clean himself up, and lies down on the
Black has been on my to-read list for almost as long as I have been on Goodreads.A couple of weeks ago, totally out of the blue, my girlfriend asked me about the series and if I had read it. She had somehow stumbled across it, which is odd because genres of the fantastic aren't usually her thing (although I have been feeding her some of Stephen King's greats, and she's loved them, so I guess all bets are off now).Anyways, I told her I hadn't read it but it had been on my list for years.
