My Son's Thoughts: (he's 17)

Meet the Wikk children; Oliver, oldest of the children and cadet of the Federal star fleet academy and expert pilot, Tiffany decipherer of clues and older sister to the twins, Mason and Austin, adventurers’ and identical twins. None of this sounds normal but then again nothing about the Wikk childrens’ lives is normal. Their parents are kidnapped by an evil secret organization and the children are their only chance of rescue.


Taken is geared toward a younger audience so it reads like a jr. version of Star Trek - jumping into hyper space and discovering new worlds and life forms. The book is well written and is fast paced. I enjoyed reading it. So follow the Wikk children as they find out how to rescue their parents and the identity of that little blue person!

Come back tomorrow when I share an interview with Brock and offer a give away of his new book!!

About the Author:

Brock D. Eastman likes to write, but his main focus is on his wonderful wife and two daughters. They reside at the base of America’s mountain, and are learning to call Colorado home. However, they sometimes need to visit the comfortable cornfields and hospitality of the Midwest, especially during the harvest.


Brock is Product Marketing Manager at Focus on the Family, where he has the privilege to work on the world renown Adventures in Odyssey brand, a show his dad got him hooked on when he was little boy.


He started writing The Quest for Truth series in 2005 and 5 years later, with his wife’s encouragement, signed a publishing deal. He’s always thinking of his next story and totes a thumb-drive full of ideas.
