White: The Great Pursuit by Ted Dekker

plot summary: what happens, when & where, central characters, major conflicts[return]the story from red continues, thomas of hunter and his band now have a policy of non-violence with the horde, and so have become experts at running and hiding from them. this backfires and ends up with thomas and some of his crew being taken prisoner. meanwhile, in the 21st century thomas is supposedly dead, but his sister cara has thought of a way to revive him. with the raison strain starting to make people sick, she uses his blood to enter his dream world and re-write history. thomas now feels the strain of trying to save both worlds. with the books of the histories, his blood, and the love of justin (christ) they may be able to do just that.[return][return][return][return][return][return][return]style characterisics: pacing, clarity, structure, narrative devices, etc.[return]quite a few major plot shifts, as dekker dips into the fantastical to ressurect characters. the ending was somewhat predictable (at least in one world), but also a powerful statement of sacrifice. dekker's writing is full of powerful images that the reader won't soon forget.[return][return][return][return][return][return][return]how good is it?[return]an adrenaline laced read, great entertainment with a intriguing spiritual underlayer that reinterprets the biblical story in a fresh way
