Teen FIRST Tour: Infidel–Graphic Novel: The Lost Books Series by Ted Dekker
It’s the 21st, time for the Teen FIRST blog tour!(Join our alliance! Click the button!) Every 21st, we will feature an author and his/her latest Teen fiction book’s FIRST chapter!
I haven’t received this title yet, but from the preview below it looks like it might be far more risque in it’s illustrations than I would like to recommend to young readers. I’ll let you know if it shows up.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Ted is the son of missionaries John and Helen Dekker, whose incredible story of life among headhunters in Indonesia has been told in several books. Surrounded by the vivid colors of the jungle and a myriad of cultures, each steeped in their own interpretation of life and faith, Dekker received a first-class education on human nature and behavior. This, he believes, is the foundation of his writing.
After graduating from a multi-cultural high school, he took up permanent residence in the United States to study Religion and Philosophy. After earning his Bachelor’s Degree, Dekker entered the corporate world in management for a large healthcare company in California. Dekker was quickly recognized as a talent in the field of marketing and was soon promoted to Director of Marketing. This experience gave him a background which enabled him to eventually form his own company and steadily climb the corporate ladder.
Since 1997, Dekker has written full-time. He states that each time he writes, he finds his understanding of life and love just a little clearer and his expression of that understanding a little more vivid. To see a complete list of Dekker’s work, visit The Works section of TedDekker.com.

Chosen (The Lost Books, Book 1) (The Books of History Chronicles)

Black: The Birth of Evil (The Circle Trilogy Graphic Novels, Book 1)

Awesome book covers! Sounds like an interesting author. I’ve always wondered what it would’ve been like to be raised my missionaries. Would like to hear more about him.

Hi Marvin,
Dekker is extremely well known in the Christian marketplace, though I only recently read my first title of his – Chosen, the first book in this series. Infidel is the second. He writes suspense, thrillers and quite a few titles in the vein of alternate worlds, which I loved as a young adult, and still do
