An excellent all-around novel

Green is Dekker’s all-encompassing work of art, tying the somewhat legendary Circle Trilogy (Black, Red, White, Green) together. Thomas Hunter, famed army general of the fleeing albinos in the desert, has a son named Samuel Hunter, who has his own slightly misguided ideas of what to do with the savage Horde, who over the past fifteen years have targeted and ruthlessly murdered albinos who bathed in Elyon’s healing red lakes. The Horde possess the loathsome skin disease and are known less professionally as the Scabs, because of the horrid skin condition. Monique de Raison of twenty-first century earth meets a mysterious man called Billy who is obsessed with finding and using the powerful hidden vial of Thomas’ blood. Kara Hunter, Thomas’ sister from the present world, and Janae, Monique’s willful daughter, are also present. Enter into the strange world of the Circle Trilogy, and discover Dekker’s uncanny ability to capture the imagination in the most vivid ways. As the other novels in the Circle Trilogy, Green is not for the very young because of gruesome violence and harsh cruelty. But for the reader daring to explore Ted’s strange world of fantasy, Green is a must-read. The writing style is nearly faultless and Dekker uses all the correct words. Another stunning and provocative novel by Ted Dekker. View All Music And Book Reviews By fanforchrist2009 | View fanforchrist2009's Profile
