Thomas Hunter narrowly escapes mysterious assailants only to encounter a silent bullet that clips his head . . . and his world goes black. He awakens in an alternate reality and soon finds himself pulled between two worlds. In one, Thomas is an average guy working in a coffeehouse. In the other, he's a battle-scarred general leading a band of warriors known as the Circle. Every time Thomas closes his eyes, he awakes in a different reality, where he must thwart a looming pandemic in one and confront forbidden love in another. Thomas can bridge both worlds, but he quickly realizes that he may not be able to save either. In this mind-bending adventure of suspense, thriller, and fantasy, the fate of both worlds now rests on his ability to shift realities through his dreams—and somehow find a way to change history. Ted Dekker excels in crafting a narrative rich with allegorical depth and spiritual introspection, making The Circle Series a profound exploration of faith, redemption, and the human spirit. Experience the novel that started it all with Black and join the Circle with the rest of the series: - Book 1: Black - Book 2: Red - Book 3: White - Book 4: Green
