Publisher's summary

Fleeing assailants through alleyways in Denver late one night, Thomas Hunter narrowly escapes to the roof of an industrial building. Then a silent bullet from the night clips his head and his world goes black. When he awakes, he finds himself in an entirely different reality, a green forest that seems more real than where he was. Every time he tries to sleep, he wakes up in the other world, and soon he truly no longer knows which reality is real. Slowly he realizes that each reality dramatically impacts the other. In each world unspeakable evil is unleashed and millions of lives hang in the balance. The fate of two worlds depends on the actions of one man: Thomas Hunter.

Very good

It started a little on the slow side, but once things started happening, I didn't want to put it down. I can't wait to start the next book.

A good read

This series is good. but not GREAT. Its basically Christian themed,, but is metaphorical enough to not be overtly religious. This story would be SO much better if it was just written for adults and was a little darker and grittier. And I dont like the narrator so much. but if you subscribe to audible I would say its worth the credits. wouldnt be worth buying them individually though.

I was on the the edge of my seat from start to finish!

This is a fantastic book, and unlike any other that I have read. I am not one to read often, however, this book kept me coming back over and over again. Just when you believe you have all of the answers the plot shifts. I can't wait to read the next book in this series!

First novel I’ve read in years

and I wasn’t disappointed! The narrator makes it come alive; I can’t imagine a more excellent voice to perform this work. About to dive into the next part of the series!

Truly a believable unbelievable story!

The entire circle series is awesome, This book (yes, read this one first) gets you off to a great start into a fictional universe you never heard of before nor imagined. More profound than most books of its type and more exciting than any other sci-fi fantasy in existence.

ROB LAMONT as narrator - THE ABSOLUTE BEST! I feel like a kid again!
