Does anybody know the order of the books that connect to the circle trilogy by Ted Dekker? ?

Question

I've read Black,Red, and White by Ted Dekker. Now I'm realizing there are many more books that follow up with that storyline. I think they're called "the Books of History Chronicles." I don't know in what order all these books go. I know that Showdown and Saint have something do with it. And I also know that there is a series called the Lost Books that follows the Circle Trilogy series. Is there any more? And what order to they all go in???? What should I read after the Circle Trilogy?

Thanks so much!!!

Answer 1

Well, to answer your questions, the books are more of a circle than a series.

(The Circle Trilogy) Black, Red, and White should be read in that order. Also, late next year, Green is coming out which is technically called book zero. It is the beginning and the end of the Circle Trilogy.

(The Paradise Novels)Showdown, Saint, and Sinner should be read in that order.

(The Lost Books) Chosen, Infidel, Renegade, Chaos should be read in that order. (There are more books that are going to be added to this series.)

Any of these series can be read in any order. You can read any of them without reading the other series. They're sort of like a spin-off. For example, the Paradise Novels are a completely different story, but in a little of the book, they REFER back to the Circle Trilogy. However, even if you did not read the Circle Trilogy, you would still understand the Paradise Novels. That is why Ted says that his books make a circle. Each series can be read independently of the others. Just make sure that you read all of the Paradise novels in order, and all of the Circle Trilogy in order, and all of the Lost Books in order and you'll be great!

I hope that helped.

(And I personally read the Paradise Novels after The Circle Trilogy).
