Circle Trilogy

"The Circle Trilogy" by Ted Dekker is a set of Christian novels about a man named Thomas Hunter who, after a head injury, wakes up in an alternate reality every time he goes to sleep. The stakes are raised when he realizes that a deadly virus is about to be unleashed on our world, and that the 'Other Earth' is also being threatened with catastrophe. The pace quickens as links and parallels between the two worlds are revealed, and the clock begins to run down for both worlds.

The books describe a fantasy world and, much like "The Chronicles of Narnia", are designed to teach religious lessons.Fact|date=June 2008 Ted Dekker has also released the trilogy as graphic novels in 2007. The graphic novels were written by Matthew Hansen and Bob Strachan.

Notes

* The Circle trilogy's name is similar to that of the prologue and epilogue ("The Circle Opens" and "The Circle Closes", respectively) to Stephen King's book, The Stand. The Stand is also similar to the Circle trilogy in that The Stand is composed of three 'parts', or books, as is the Circle trilogy. Both also make references to God, and deal with viruses that can destroy entire populations.
* The Circle trilogy ties in with many of Dekker's other books and series as part of the Books of History Chronicles. In Saint, it is revealed that the villains Marsuvees Black, Englishman, and Barsidious White are products of the blank books that Circle trilogy protagonist Thomas Hunter took back to the real world with him. In the Lost Books it is revealed that Sterling Red is also a product of the blank books. These books are the focus of the Project Showdown trilogy and the Lost Books series.
