Book Description

Publication Date: April 13, 2010

Fight the Horde . . . or die with love.

Separated by time and space, our heroes finally return home. But five years have passed and they find a nightmarishly changed world.

The despised Horde are now in control. The healing lakes of Elyon are now blood red. And mighty Thomas Hunter and his Forest Guard have disappeared.

Take a stand with the chosen but be wary, for not all is as it seems. Now the chosen themselves are questioning their very sanity. For the only way to win may be to lose. The only way to live may be to die. And the only one to lead may be a lunatic.

3.0 out of 5 stars Are you catching the play in the titles?, July 2, 2009

(What's this?)

So I loved the first 4 books in this series. Very entertaining and very fast paced. This one seemed to drag a little for me though. Our heroes seem to be bouncing back and forth all over the place and at times, it is difficult to keep up with what exactly they are running into. But when you catch up, it's usually with a smile.

Follow along with the titles here in the CIRCLE books and see if you caught the play in titles or am I just out of my mind...C(hosen) I(nfidel) R(enegade) C(haos) L(unatic) E(????) That's right! The first letter of each title is going to spell CIRCLE! So perhaps the final book will be Elyon. Who knows, I guess we will just have to wait and see.

4.0 out of 5 stars Another great Dekker book..., July 6, 2009

Dekker continues to sizzle with the 5th book in the Lost Books series. In this book, the young hero trio return to their world to find that the Horde have taken over the forests and are on a mission to exterminate all of the forrest dwellers.

It had been a while since I'd read the last book in this series, so I had a little trouble reconnecting with the story line and following all the new Horde characters. Otherwise, I found the story just as engaging and entertaining as the rest of this great series. If your just jumping into this series, as the author says you can do, I would not recommend it with this book.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not Ted Dekker, December 8, 2009

I have read all of the previous books in this series with great interest - Dekker is an amazing writer. However, once I started reading this book, it became obvious that Dekker is not the primary author, but Kaci Hill, whoever that is. The writing style is totally different, the characters flat, the descriptions boring, etc. I have lost all interest in finishing the last two books of the series (Lunatic and Elyon) and simply stopped reading after about two chapters.
