Ted Dekker's novel Showdown was a splendid read. It kept me enthralled the entire time. The exciting dichotomy of good vs. evil is played out in this book. The only thing is, throughout most of the novel, you don't know who is the bad guys are or who the good guys are, or even if there are any good or bad guys.
Evil is delved into with surprising ferocity. Throughout some of the book, the conventional idea of evil is challenged.
Evil is looked at as a possibility of love. In the end, everything becomes clear, but it is very interesting to play the ideas in your head.
Anybody that is interested in good and evil and the power that each side can bring to the table will enjoy this book very much.
