Product Description
"We have stepped off the cliff and are falling into madness." Thomas Hunter is caught between two shocking realities, each facing a meltdown of epic proportions. When he dreams in one world, he awakens in the other. In one reality, Thomas is a respected military leader urgently trying to deliver the vastly outnumbered Forest People from an agonizing calamity that will end life as they know it. In the other, he's trying desperately to work with the world's top leaders to stop the release of the deadliest airborne virus ever created. The earth's population is facing the worst global crisis in history. This virus has a three-week latency period, and only ten days remain before its deadly power is unleashed. Thomas must find a way to change history--or face the destruction of two worlds.

 First book in Dekker's central trilogy! January 6, 2009
Most of Dekker's other works come out of this trilogy (Red-Black-White). He's one of the best in Christian suspense and tells great character driven stories! This series is very similar to a modern telling of C.S. Lewis' space trilogy.
Thomas Hunter's journey doesn't let up! December 19, 2008
Thomas Hunter lay sleeping in a hotel room in Bangkok. Just as he'd predicted, the deadly The Raison Strain virus had been released into the world. His sister lets him sleep, though, for now.
In another reality, Thomas rides a black steed over a sandy valley, leading his Forest Guard to war against the Horde. Having eaten the fruit that blocks dreams, it's been fifteen years since he last walked in Earth's reality. This alternate world has become his home. But to defeat the Horde he needs an explosive, something he can only get by going to sleep.
He wakes in Bangkok to find a gun pressed to his temple, thus Thomas enters back into his bizarre dual reality, hoping to save two worlds from destruction. But he is only one man. Whatever happens to his body in one world happens to his body in the other. The things he learns in one world, he takes into the other. But what happens if he dies?
Without an antivirus, everyone in the world will die from the Raison Strain within a few weeks. Monique, the scientist working on the antivirus, is kidnapped by the perpetrators who want to rule the world. As the terrorists demand the world surrender their nuclear weapons in exchange for the antivirus, Thomas Hunter works with the United States government to try to prevent the end of the world, and when he sleeps, Thomas is trying to save his people from an equally devastating crisis with the Horde.
This story just keeps going and it's very gripping. If you haven't read the first novel, I suggest you start there, then get this one. Dekker snags the reader into this amazing journey with Thomas and doesn't let up. The book has a bit of an ending, but like Black, Red leaves you hanging enough that you need to run to the bookstore to get a copy of White, the last book in the series. I highly recommend Red to anyone looking for a big adventure.
Dekker did it again. December 11, 2008
This is a wonderful book from an awesome writer. I can't say that Dekker appeals to everyone, but he is a great writer with a way with words. This is a captivating story. Caution, if you start the trilogy, you will not be able to put it down till the end. Then it leaves you wanting more.

I thought I was knew where Dekker was going with this trilogy but I was mistaken. The story of redemption was coming through the suspense and action but it wasn't quite what I expected.

Wow!! I can't wait to read White now. Red is so twisted and enticing. The creative nature of these books are wonderfully terrific and exciting. Looking for the biblical meaning is challenging and I can't stop reading!!!
