Editorial Reviews

Seventeen year old Oliver Wikk returns home from the Academy and finds his life turned upside down. His parents are keeping a secret…a secret that the dark soldiers of Ubel are willing to kill for. In his debut novel Taken, B.D. Eastman has touched off the fuse of a swift and explosive adventure. Readers will follow Oliver, his sister Tiffany, and his younger twin brothers Mason and Austin into mysterious ruins, eerie catacombs, and a creepy castle that defies imagination. One part Swiss Family Robinson, one part Indiana Jones, Taken is a riveting tale of just how far mankind is willing to go…for the ultimate prize.

My buddy Brock Eastman has a winner here! Take fascinating characters, put them on a fantastical adventure, and tell the story at a must-read-the-next-page pace, and you’ve got Taken – the first volume of his forthcoming five-book series entitled The Quest for Truth. Oh, and parents, don’t forget his solid emphasis on Christian principles the whole time too. Tell you what…get this book for your kids, and they’ll enjoy it so much that I’ll bet you’ll end up reading it too! Way to go Brock!

Frank Pastore

"Don't even touch this book unless you plan to read it at once. Taken wastes no time thrusting its readers headlong into the beginning of what promises to be an epic saga. Exploding with mystery and high-stakes adventure, this book is masterfully crafted to awaken even the most stubborn of imaginations. And yet, perhaps the most impressive feat is Mr. Eastman's ability to punctuate all of it with a deep and powerful message of faith. A job well done."

Christopher Miller

"Sit back and let Brock take you on an exciting journey to the far reaches of the galaxy that explores the meaning of family and friends"
