Infidel Click title to read excerpt or buy from CBD.com By Ted Dekker / Thomas Nelson Reviewed by Karri ComptonDekker ratchets up the suspense, delivering a full-force clash between good and evil.Infidel, Book Two of The Lost Books series, continues the saga of four young members of Thomas' Forest Guard--Johnis, Billos, Silvie, and Darsal. They have just returned from their first mission successfully and all the forest celebrates its new young warriors. But life cannot go back to normal for the four friends. They have retrieved two Books of History, but know they need to find the other five. Before they can strategize about their next moves, the Roush give Johnis a ring--one that belonged to his mother Rosa. Was she still alive and in Horde slavery? He will not rest until he finds out. The Horde is treacherous and has a spy within the Forest. Will Johnis be able to infiltrate the enemy and return alive with his mother? Will he have to betray the ones he loves in order to achieve his goal? Dekker ratchets up the suspense, delivering a full-force clash between good and evil. A tornado of action and stratagem, Infidel will leave you knowing for certain you are not in Kansas anymore. And don't forget while you're in the whirlwind to think with your heart. As was true in the Circle Trilogy, these books end with the reader begging for more. Unfortunately, we have to wait until May for Renegade, the next installment. I personally hope The Lost Books are not the end of the Forest World. Perhaps instead of just filling in the gaps between Black and Red, Dekker will yet show us what happens after White in a new series featuring this fantastic alternate universe. We can only dream… |
