Ted Dekker's Blog

New York Times  bestselling author Ted Dekker delivers the gripping story of Maviah, a slave who becomes a queen in Arabia, A.D. 33. 

They call her the Queen of the Outcasts. Maviah, a woman whose fate was sealed on her birth by this world-unwanted, illegitimate, female, a slave-subject to the whims of all. But then she met a man named Yeshua who opened her eyes. She found strength in his words, peace from the brutal word around her. Because of what he taught her, she has gathered her own traveling kingdom of outcasts deep in the desert, wielding an authority few have seen. But when her growing power threatens the rulers around her, they set out to crush all she loves, leaving her reeling as a slave once more. She must find Yeshua to save her people, but when she does, she will be horrified to discover that he faces his own death.

Enter a story full of intrigue, heart-wrenching defeat, uncompromising love and staggering victory-one that re-examines everything you thought you knew about the heart of Jesus’s stunning message and the power that follows for those who follow his easily forgotten way. – See more at: http://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titl...

What readers have to say about Hacker:

“This is a return to the type of storytelling that originally got me hooked on Dekker, as in his older novels such as Thr3e. If you’re looking for a fast-paced novel that will keep you turning pages, pick up this book. You won’t be disappointed.” -M. Vickers, Amazon reviewer

“Wow just wow. I feel like someones taken my brain apart and put it together again in a completely different form. This was totally not what I expected when I picked the book up, I’m still trying to wrap my mind around what I’ve just read. This is one of those books that sets your mind spinning, has you stopping to evaluate what you thought you knew, what you thought you believed, has you thinking about life and death and what happens to who we are after our physical body is no more and it’s all wrapped up in a fast paced story that centers around a teenage hacker. I haven’t been able to put this book down and devoured it in more or less one sitting. This book really surprised me and I’m kind of lost for words to even begin to explain or describe the journey this book took me on. I already want to reread it now that my mind has kind of digested all the questions and thoughts it brought up the first time.” -Scarlet, Goodreads reviewer

“This is on-the-edge-of-your-seat writing, if there ever was a book that keeps you on the edge – this is it. It hooks your right from page one.” -WBfromNY, Amazon reviewer

“Incredible, suspenseful and fast paced. Excellently written” -M. Pointer, Amazon reviewer

“Hacker reads very much like some of Dekker’s earlier books… about tapping into the unseen reality behind all that we see. This book is no exception and probably does it to a far greater depth than some of the other books.” -Tom Farr, Amazon reviewer

“WOW. That’s about all there is to say. I was hooked from the first chapter. The book was nothing like I expected after reading the description, but that is a very good thing. The plot flowed very well, keeping you on your toes throughout the entire story. Ted Dekker is a brilliant story teller. Highly recommended” -Caitlin, Goodreads reviewer

“5 Stars. Ted Dekker’s Outlaw Chronicles keep getting better and better, and Hacker is my favorite so far.” -Jill Jones, Amazon reviewer

“I’ve not read a Ted Dekker book in several years, so picking up this one was a nice change. I was caught from the first page and kept turning pages – quickly – until the ending. The only reason I didn’t finish it in one setting was because I fell asleep while reading in the early hours of Sunday morning.” -Dawn Janis, Amazon reviewer

“5 Stars. Amazing. Read and be inspired.” -Trudi, Amazon reviewer

“Masterfully written, full of suspense and hard to put down, I read it in two sittings and it would have been one had I started it earlier the first time, I didn’t want to put it down.” -Caleb Lang, Goodreads reviewer

“Hacker twists your mind, just like every other Ted Dekker book.” -Mikeylynn, Amazon reviewer
