Black. The Birth of Evil.
While fleeing a hit man through the deserted alleys of Denver, a bullet clips Thomas Hunter's head. He escapes with his life, but later passes out from his wounds . . . and his world is swallowed by black.
From the dark comes an amazing reality of another world-a world where evil is contained. A world where Thomas is in love with a beautiful woman. A world that stands on the brink of annihilation.
Where does the dream end and reality begin? Every time he falls asleep in one world, he awakens in the other-each facing unimaginable evil, an each with a fate unknowingly tied to the other.
Some say the world hangs in the balance of every choice we make. Now the fate of two worlds hangs in the balance of one man's choice.
That is, if he can live to see the end of the day.

Review by Jill Williamson
To clarify, this is a review for the graphic novel of Black. A graphic novel is like a really long comic book. If you want to see my review of the regular novel, click here.
Someone is shooting at Thomas Hunter. Then they are chasing him. He runs to his sister?s house for safety, but when he falls asleep he wakes up in a strange and foreign land. Every time he falls asleep in one world, he wakes up in the other. Thomas discovers that in order to save earth from a deadly virus, he must ask questions in the other world. And that fantasy world is about to encounter a major problem itself.
I love Dekker?s Circle Trilogy. Reading this graphic novel after knowing the books so well was a bit difficult. I felt like it moved too fast and left out so many important details. But I read it aloud to my seven-year-old son and he loved it. The illustrations are excellent, and we did have to stop a few times so I could explain something, but even with details left out, this story captivated. I highly recommend this graphic novel for kids who love action-packed adventure stories. Even the ones who don?t like to read should get into this. It?s a little violent in parts, as Thomas is being shot at and the fighting is illustrated. So, if you aren?t into that, you might not like this. If you do, you?ll love it.
I Also Recommend: The Warrior Heir (Heir Series #1), Red, White.
