"Taking Three" Takes Death to Task
Just finished "Taking Three"...hmmmmm, where to start? McCallum spins a wild ride of a tale where religion, mythology, the supernatural, and the inevitable converge to create a cold feeling of dread in Soke. The characters are very real, sometimes hitting too close to home. McCallum possesses the gift of "painting" a very real canvas for the reader. The characters and setting are described vividly, and the action sequences affect the heart rate. My favorite character - Wacky Jacky - a man who has looked death in the eyes, has some outstanding scenes where I was pulled into the story in an effort to assist the law officer with WJ's "puzzles". Great fun! The story moves constantly from scary to frightful, to creepy, to downright disturbing! "Taking Three" is an engrossing, intelligent work that will appeal to readers who enjoy a book that can take your breath away - literally! I highly recommend "Taking Three".

Taking Three
The author is obviously very talented and has a deep and complex mind. To write a book about death takes great imagination and depth. I liked that he injected scripture throughout the book. He takes you in many different directions, keeping you guessing as to what the author introduces next. This author has a bright future, I wish him well.
