TED DEKKER is a New York Times bestselling thriller author. Heralded as a "master of suspense" by Library Journal, Dekker has sold millions worldwide, establishing himself as one of the most widely recognized author brands.
He began his career writing fantasy novels that explored spirituality (Black, Red and White) and has since become a major force in the mainstream fiction arena with his recent thrillers, "Adam," "Thr3e," "Skin," "Obsessed," "BoneMan's Daughters," which landed in the #10 on the New York Times hardcover bestseller list in 2009, and "The Bride Collector". Dekker has been honored with a Christy Award as well as a Gold Medallion Award for Best Fiction. "Thr3e" and his novel "House" became feature films.
Dekker was born to missionaries and grew up among cannibals of Indonesia, and his peculiar upbringing gives him a unique perspective outside the cultural bubble, allowing him the freedom to share provocative insights in his fiction. After leaving Indonesia, Dekker graduated from a multi-cultural high school and took up permanent residence in the United States, earning his B.A. in philosophy and religion, and then went into business.
In the early nineties, Dekker decided to pursue his desire to write fiction, selling his company, moving his family to the mountains of western Colorado, and writing full-time. Two years and three books later his first novel, a supernatural thriller called Heaven's Wager, was published. Dekker proceeded to write 6 more supernatural thrillers, rising to the top of many bestsellers lists and earning himself critical acclaim and legions of fans. "Thr3e" heralded his launch into mainstream fiction and was followed by "Obsessed," "Skin," "Adam," and "BoneMan's Daughters," all of which hit the New York Times bestseller list.
Ted Dekker's fans are comprised of readers of all ages, backgrounds, and belief systems who love his compulsively readable stories, authentic characters, and universal and relatable themes that he explores from a unique point of view.
He resides in Austin, Texas with his wife and children. You can find him at Teddekker.com and Facebook.com/teddekker.

If I were to write a top five list of Ted Dekker books, Burn wouldn't be on it, but it is still an excellent book that I would highly recommend. I tend to like his more intense, high octane books, this book delves more into the character personalities, which many would prefer. It is also moderately paced compared to many of his fast paced books.
Some people have told me that they read a Ted Dekker book, and found it to be too gory. Those people will like this book, as it doesn't contain gorier elements.
Recognize that Ted Dekker writes Christian fiction; however, he is set apart from most other Christian Fiction authors, because he presents his message without stuffing Bible verses down your throat, nor does he ensure that every chapter has to mention Jesus. Instead, he writes good fiction that portrays an overall message that is aligned with God's Word. I lend my books to my Father, who is a devout atheist and humanist. He enjoys Ted Dekker+ books, because he isn't put off by them like he is with other Christian Fiction. He just thinks of them as good fiction.
So, overall, this is a good book that anyone would like, Christian or not.
The following is a review of the Kindle edition of this book, and not of the storyline.
I bought this on Jan. 11, 2010, and started reading it right away as I found time. I immediately noticed some very strange editing errors, including both inserted or removed words which rendered several sentences (one or two per chapter) meaningless.
The only specific example I have is that on page 19, the actual book reads: "And perhaps if she was forced to tell the truth..." while the corresponding Kindle sentence is: "And perhaps if you had she was forced to tell the truth..." Other errors included the wording "than an" instead of "than", and the rearranging of one sentence with a list of items so that "and" was between items 1 and 2 instead of 2 and 3.
I was planning on posting more examples of this, but I contacted Amazon, and their solution was to give me a refund, and the book has been removed from my Kindle.
This was a very frustrating error when I was trying to read the Kindle, and now I'm about a third of the way through the book and need to get an actual copy. This is the first book I'd bought for my Kindle, and if this is representative of the kind of sloppy editing that goes into creating a Kindle edition, then I see no point in buying another e-book.
As a final note, I've enjoyed the story thus far, but would not recommend buying the Kindle edition.
