Showdown (Dekker Novel) - Connection With Books of History Saga

Connection With Books of History Saga

Showdown is the first published novel in the Project Showdown series, which are also known as the Paradise Novels. Even though the books are their own series, Showdown, Saint, and Sinner are a part of what is referred to as the Books of History Chronicles. In the Circle Trilogy, a man named Thomas Hunter discovers an alternate universe containing Books of History, which make anything written in them come true as long as the writer has the faith of a child. 30 years later, Showdown takes place. Saint and then Sinner take place 15 years after that. All the books in the Saga (Black, Red, White, Green, Chosen, Infidel, Renegade, Chaos, Lunatic, Elyon, Showdown, Saint, Sinner, House, and Skin) contain and explore the powers of the Books of History. The Circle Trilogy first introduces the books; The Lost Books take place in the same world as the Circle Trilogy in the time frame between Black and Red and following the events of White with Lunatic and Elyon, and follow young warriors searching for the original Books of History. Showdown, Saint and Sinner follow the events in our world that happen because of the books' power.

Famous quotes containing the words connection with, connection, books and/or history:

    “We say that the hour of death cannot be forecast, but when we say this we imagine that hour as placed in an obscure and distant future. It never occurs to us that it has any connection with the day already begun or that death could arrive this same afternoon, this afternoon which is so certain and which has every hour filled in advance.”
    —Marcel Proust (1871–1922)

    “Accept the place the divine providence has found for you, the society of your contemporaries, the connection of events.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “All books are divisible into two classes: the books of the hour, and the books of all time.”
    —John Ruskin (1819–1900)

    “... the history of the race, from infancy through its stages of barbarism, heathenism, civilization, and Christianity, is a process of suffering, as the lower principles of humanity are gradually subjected to the higher.”
    —Catherine E. Beecher (1800–1878)
