The Books of History Chronicles

[Blake]

The [i]Book of history Chronicles[/i] is a series of books by the Author Ted Dekker. The stories focus around 1443 (+7) books that have the ability to alter the history of our world, before, during, or after it happens, and the 7 other books which allow travel between this world, and a world in the future, which is Earth, remade in 2000+ years.

The main character of the Circle Series is Thomas Hunter, a 20-somethin' year old, who is able to go between the worlds everytime he falls asleep, unless he eats a magical fruit called the Rhambutan (In the future) or gets put to sleep via medical drugs. His story is of a Virus destroying our world, and a disease of the flesh and mind destroying the other. This story is set in 2010 for us, and over about 30 years in the future, as only one body ages at a time. Thomas discovers the Books of History, and he accidentally brings them to our world. Also, everyone in this world has a counterpart in the future world.

The Paradise books revolves around a boy, who grows up by book 2, named Johnny Drake, in a town called Paradise. It also focuses on the monastery that is raising kids, to use the books, right above the town, in a cliff, where the Books of History have appeared. Billy and Samuel are rivals, and Billy discovers the books, led by a man named Marsuvees Black, and is told to create another Marsuvees Black in his likeness, to terrorize Paradise. Marsuvees Black (Creation) is the main antagonist of the series. He uses the Books to create minions as he needs them. 2 rogue creations become antagonists in side stories. This series starts in the 2030s and ends in the early 2040s.

[i]House[/i] is a single book that focuses on Barsidious White, a serial killer, and his downfall. This book has no real signifigance to the series, except for who White is. (Based between Paradise books 1 and 2)

[i]Skin[/i] focuses on Sterling Red, a psychotic man bent on revenge, and details his story, eventually causing a very odd twist. This book bridges the Paradise series to the Lost books. (Time Based: Unknown)

The Lost Books is a series of 6 books that spell out CIRCLE when you take the first letter of each. (Chosen, Infidel, Renegade, Chaos, Lunatic, Elyon) The series focuses on Johnis, a runt, who is commanded to find the Original Books of History (The 7 extra books), and has 3 companions: Darsal, Sylvie, and Billos. The story is about collecting the 7 books, and travelling between the worlds. Based in the future world, but it is in the 2020s for us, for a little while.

The book, [i]Green[/i], is based mostly in the future world, but is also in the late 2040s for our world. It details the end of both worlds, and Thomas' role in both is still of importance, and he is the main character. This story unites all three sets thus far.

The [i]Blood Books[/i] and [i]I.V.[/i] are yet to be released, but will be soon.
