Reviews
<p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman';">“<em>The Taken</em> is a gripping tale of two brothers torn apart by happenstance and tormented by hatred, guilt and memory. Rarely does a novel about Indian captivity take the reader so convincingly into the psyches of both the one stolen and the would-be rescuer. This is an unforgettable story, and Mike Kearby tells it vividly and without flinching.”</span></p>
