Story
Welcome to Paradise. Epic battles of good and evil are happening all around us. Today that battle comes to town with the sound of lone footsteps clacking down the blacktop on a hot, lazy summer afternoon. The black-cloaked man arrives in the sleepy town of Paradise and manages to become the talk of the town within the hour. Bearing the power to grant any unfulfilled dream, he is irresistible. Seems like bliss... but is it? Or is hell about to break loose in Paradise?

The story of how I, Julian Carter, and my precious two-year old son, Stephen, left Atlanta Georgia and found ourselves on a white sailboat, tossed about like a cork on a raging sea off of Australia's northern tip in 1963, is harrowing. But it pales in comparison to what happened deep in the jungle where I was taken as a slave by a savage tribe unknown to the world. Some places dwell in darkness so deep that even God seems to stay away.

New York Times bestselling author Ted Dekker teams with Tosca Lee to create this gripping thriller set in a desolate future. Many years have passed since civilization's brush with apocalypse. The world's greatest threats have all been silenced. There is no anger, no hatred, no war. There is only perfect peace... and fear. But a terrible secret has been closely guarded for centuries: Every single soul walking the earth, though in appearance totally normal, is actually dead, long ago genetically stripped of true humanity.

Ted Dekker = Great Stories
Ted Dekker is a great storyteller. He is a master of taking a story and using it to share truths and help the reader think on a whole new level.

My first and last Dekker book. Not my cup of tea.
The narrator was fantastic! The story, in my flawed opinion, was not. I am two hours in and will proceed no further. Listening to Dekker's book I find myself rather depressed with no hope of the book taking a turn for the better.
Call me six years old, but with a title like "Showdown" I would have anticipated a little more acting of the forces of good, but there has been narry a strong, virtuous character yet. The most robust character in the story is a wart eating, eyeball plucking Jesuit with a pocket full of vaseline that he habitually forces people to ingest. I didn't know that I was in for a Stephen King book when I bought this, and it is my fault for failing to research Dekker. Don't make the same mistake as me. Do your homework.

Excellent continuation of the Circle Series
The vanishing blank books of history show up in an unique way in "Showdown". It is the first of three in the Paradise series an well worth the read if you enjoyed the Circle trilogy.

Great listen
Fascinating story. Can't wait for the other two instalments. Is Marsuvious Black gone for good?

A little too dark
Very good allegory but written a little darker than I like, though the lines between good and evil were definitely driven home.

Great Story, but...
My apologies for words which may appear personally attacking, however, I must admit my disappointment with the styles of 'voice'. I heard a mocking sarcasm from powerful characters which rendered them insipid. I endured the entire audio book because I appreciate Ted Dekker's depth of truth and spiritual imagination offered through each book I've heard thus far, and because I was confident his message would be made clear.

Some pretty great surprises
If one likes Ted Dekker, I think one would enjoy this story. It does feel daunting about 3/4 of the way, but once the darkness breaks, you see the parallels of the story of salvation. I found it quite an enjoyable experience & an excellent expansion on the circle series
