Publisher Description

Carl Strople was covertly recruited to Black Ops and given the most brutal kind of training any man or woman could endure. Now he belongs to The X Group. But why do they call him “Saint”?

An assassin. The most effective killer in the world. And yet . . . Carl Strople struggles to retain fleeting memories that betray an even more ominous reality. He's been told part of the truth--but not all of it.

Invasive techniques have stripped him of his identity and made him someone new--for this he is grateful. But there are some things they can't take from him. The love of a woman, unbroken loyalties to his past, the need for survival.

From the deep woods of Hungary to the streets of New York, Saint takes you on a journey of betrayal in a world of government cover-ups, political intrigue, and one man's search for the truth. In the end, that truth will be his undoing.

The Bookshelf Reviews, which gave this novel from Ted Dekker 5 out of 5 stars, stated, “Saint reads like The Bourne Identity [Robert Ludlum] meets The Matrix meets Mr. Murder [Dean Koontz].”

  • Full-length suspense with a thread of fantasy
  • Book two in the Paradise series: Showdown, Saint, Sinner

"This is a Christian book with religious themes, and I'm not Christian and am not into most non-Biblical Christian stories, but I found myself enjoying this one. I bought it for our Islamic school library; a few students picked them up and couple enjoyed them so much that they read the whole series in a schoolweek. These were high school students who had never seemed to enjoy independent reading, so I was elated to witness their interest."

    " 4 1/2 probably. Some of the stuff got a little too star wars/ x-men for this kind of book. I guess it was just unexpected coming from Ted Dekker and it added a lot of cheese. otherwise I liked this one better than showdown. "

    " The ending could have/should have been more than just a rock fight between good and evil! Such great assassins and they end it throwing rocks? Disappointing in that regard, but other than that, it was great! So Samuel speaks truth and Johnny sees it. I wonder who is supposed to HEAR truth. Maybe the "sinner." :o) "

    " Another excellent Dekker book. I quite enjoyed this one. The end seemed a little rush but it may be because I didn't sit and read the last 150 pages in one sitting like I usually do. "

    " I wish I had read the first book in this series, however, I still loved #2. Espionage, mind and memory manipulation, torture, assasins, supernatural powers, all wrapped up in 420 pages...what more can a girl ask for? I just may have found my new author-who's-books-I-can't-wait-to-devour! "

    " Very engaging story of an operative that is struggling with who he really is. I think the main theme of this book is finding your identity in love, specifically the Love of God. And Love gives you power. "

    " I believe this was the first book I read by Ted Dekker. It's hooks ran so deep, I was exceedingly disappointed when the series ended, but it caused me to look for more by him. His books have inspired me in many ways. If I had more than two thumbs, they would be up for Ted Dekker! "

    " Three stars for now. I was told that this book was a stand alone even though it was part of a series. However, I'm on page 177 and finding too many refrences to Showdown to follow. I hope to be able to read Showdown, then come back to this book and finish, but for now, I'll have to wait. "
