Publisher Description
Full of mystery, intrigue, and mind-blowing twists, Sinner explores what happens when the idea of tolerance leads to intolerance.
Some say roll with the punches. Drift with the tide. Nothing can stop the inevitability of change. There was a time when 300 Spartans disagreed with such mindless thinking and stood in the gap.
Now it's time for 3,000 to stand in the gap.
Sinner is the story of Marsuvees Black, a force of raw evil who speaks with wicked persuasion that is far more destructive than swords or guns. Beware all who stand in his way.
It’s also the story of Billy Rediger and Darcy Lange, two unsuspecting survivors of a research project gone bad, who discover that they are perhaps the two most powerful souls in the land. Listen to them or pay a terrible price.
And it’s the story of Johnny Drake, the one who comes out of the desert and leads the 3,000. Follow him and die.
Sinner tells the story of a free land where people who worship as they please and say what they believe are suddenly silenced in the name of tolerance.
Most will roll with the punches. Most will drift with the tide. But not all. Not the 3,000.
- Full-length suspense with a thread of fantasy

"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! "

— Shara, 2/17/2014 -
" Wish I had know this was the last book, oh well it just made me have to read the rest. "
— Charles, 2/12/2014 -
" Just starting this book. If it is like his others, I know it will be good. "
— Staci, 2/1/2014 -
" Wasn't my favorite of the Paradise novels. Slow beginning but picks up pace near the end "
— Robert, 1/19/2014 -
" continues the stories and some of the characters begun in the circle trilogy (Black, Red, White)not as strong as those but entertaining and a little preachy "
— Rick, 1/11/2014 -
" I really liked this book althought it took me longer to read than most books do....very good, as always with Ted Dekker. "
— Cathy, 1/7/2014 -
" I've given Ted Dekker plenty of high praise in my previous reviews, so let me just cut to the chase: Sinner is not his best fantasy/allegory work, but it is still great. It might be hard to understand if you haven't read Showdown, though. "
— Siobhan, 12/29/2013 -
" The last book in the Paradise Books. I didn't like it as much as Saint, but the message was amazing none the less. "
— Sarah, 12/14/2013 -
" Very cool ending to the series. Some very relevant themes regarding free speech and freedom of religion. "
— Sam, 12/9/2013 -
" As a Dekker fan, it is hard for me to give one of his books only 3 stars. This was not one of my favorites. I felt like there was " too much" in this one and made you kind of wish it would all just end and we could be done with Black, Johnny, Darcy, and Billy. "
— Trish, 12/2/2013 -
" Hmm. I really dont know what to think about this one..This book as well as Adam seem to be moving away from the core of what Dekker has written about in the past. Or maybe it is just lacking depth compared to some of the previous books I have read. "
— Esther, 11/27/2013 -
" Great read - I'm starting The Circle Trilogy today which are the prequel books! "
— Kat, 9/28/2013 -
" good book, got a little bit strange at the end, but it was still a good book. "
— Panzershreik, 5/24/2013 -
" A literal and awe-inspiring way of experiencing the beauty of Christ and forgiveness and the horrors of Satan. You will never be able to look at God or your faith in the same way after reading this amazing finale of the Paradise Novels! "
— Vanessa, 3/23/2013 -
" Fantastic, as always, Dekker weaves this beautifully! "
— Swing, 12/9/2012 -
" A good read and possibly a foretelling of the future. "
— Gordon, 10/18/2012 -
" This book changed my life. "
— Beth, 9/3/2012 -
" As always, Ted Dekker does an amazing job with suspence & thrill & tying another series together to completion. Great read! "
— Tanya, 6/8/2012 -
" A lot more religious focus than I was planning on, but a good book overall, and it made me think a lot about tolerance and how it is viewed in the world today. A thrilling plot as usual for Dekker and a few good twists which made it a quick enjoyable read. "
— Chica114, 1/10/2012 -
" I think my favorite thing about the "Books" series is that it shows that all man has the capacity to love, hurt, bring to life and kill. It's our choices and the paths we put ourselves on (and remove ourselves from) that bring us to these crucial points in our lives. "
— Justin, 10/21/2011 -
" I jumped in to this book without having read one single Ted Dekker novel. It was engaging and exciting - took just one day to read. Based on this one, I'd read more Dekker books. "
— Robbie, 10/13/2011 -
" Going to put this in Brice's book bag for Christmas so I need to get it read before then! :) "
— Marsha, 8/13/2011 -
" Good eye candy, but not a whole lot of substance. Dekker does know how to keep you entertained, but cannot write romance to save his life. It would be interesting if he was better at developing character smoothly and seamlessly, rather than jerkily and awkwardly. "
— Anne, 5/31/2011 -
" If half stars were available, it would be 3 1/2, but alas it's rounded up to 4. This was the first book I read by Dekker and I must say I enjoy his writing style. I'm looking foward to getting my hands on the other series that he's written. "
— Kevin, 5/15/2011 -
" Very interesting. Was hard to get at first since i hadn't read the first book. Definitely a thriller and I wasn't expecting that ending. "
— Spencer, 5/12/2011 -
" Audio Recording. It was a pretty good book. I really with they had told me about project showdown. I later learned that it was a book in a trilogy. Overall it was pretty good. The climax at the end was a little disappointing but I was entertained thr "
— Jake, 5/6/2011 -
" Was totally enthralled when I began this book. Then there was a section that I felt it was dragging on and on. Still like this author though. "
— Pamela, 5/1/2011 -
" Review to follow when I finish Showdown. "
— Stacy, 4/8/2011 -
" It was a fairly decent book. Not the best I've read though. It's one of those books that spike your interest and then ten minutes later it's back to being slow paced. However it had some pretty "happening" parts. "
— ???*., 3/28/2011 -
" Very good book from the very start...I wish i were Carl/Johnny "
— Jacob, 3/27/2011 -
" Started out good but then was just plain silly. I forced myself to finish it otherwise I wouldn't have. "
— Letty, 3/7/2011 -
" one of the best works of fiction I have ever read... mix of Bourne trilogy and Angels and Demons !! "
— Kari, 2/17/2011 -
" 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. "
— Tricia, 2/17/2011 -
" Very cool series. Dekker often reminds of Steven King (but less prone to excess), which is a good thing. Can't wait for the finale. "
— Sam, 2/15/2011 -
" This book was awesome very action-packed.I also loved the plot throughout the entire book! "
