Showdown
Deep in the Colorado mountains lies a secret monastery where an experiment like none other has been going on for more than a decade. Orphaned children have been brought to the monastery and raised from infancy with no exposure to the negative influences of society. They have been carefully taught in the ways of truth, virtue, and faith. The goal is for these children to become "noble savages" whose extraordinary faith can change society. Particularly if they can access the power of the secret that lies in the dungeons beneath the monastery. The question is, will that power corrupt them? Or will they be able to use this power to overcome the evil that resides in their own hearts?
In the valley below, all is calm in the sleepy town of Paradise until the day the mysterious Marsuvees Black strides into town. When Black enters the town, all hell breaks loose and the town begins to fall apart. Everyone in Paradise believes Black has come to help them. Everyone, that is, besides young Johnny Drake. He believes that Black has an evil agenda and is deceiving the town. But how can one teenage boy stand up and make a difference when the whole town, and the powerful Marsuvees Black are against him?
Saint
Carl Strople is a dangerous assassin. Formerly a soldier and chaplain in the US army, Special Forces, he's now working with "Group X", a black ops group. The mission he's on is not officially sanctioned by the government. As a part of his training, his memory has been erased, and his true identity is unknown, even to him. His team calls him Saint. As the story unfolds, parts of his memory begin to return to him, and he begins to suspect that his history, and the special abilities he has, might have something to do with a town in Colorado called Paradise...
Sinner
Billy Rediger and Darcy Lange are two of the young people who grew up in the monastery in the hills above Paradise, Colorado. They are in their early twenties now, and have both tried to bury the past and forget what happened in those formative years. But, that is not going be easy. The secret that they discovered in the dungeons under the monastery has left them with powers that will soon be revealed. Can Billy and Darcy use these powers to bring about order and peace in society? Or will their efforts result in disaster?
I needed something engaging and thrilling to help me get caught up, so I'm very thankful to my friend Ann who turned me on to Ted Dekker. I'd never read any of his work before. He is a master of suspense. These books are a thrill from beginning to end. I'm now working on the Circle series. Still trying to figure out a few things... :-)
