The Caldera Incident

A great book that rivals John Grisham. Suggest you read both of Johns books. Hope he writes many more thrillers.

Fast-moving murder mystery set in an area that is clearly well-known to the author. This book would make a great film!

I met Mr. Mecom at a baseball tournament in McKinney, Tx; we were both watching grandsons play ball. I was wearing a La. Tech cap and he walked up and asked me where I got the cap. I told him I have a grandson playing football there. He advised he was from Ruston and had attended Louisiana Tech as well and that he had just written a book centered in and around Ruston, La. I told him I would get the book and read it. Having spent my summers at my grandparents farms outside of Ruston, I could not wait to get the book. Lucas Run and his first book, the Caldera Incident are both great reads. They are fast paced and hold your attention from beginning to end. He makes the characters very real and believable; a very good storyteller. I look forward to future reads from Mr. Mecom.

Caldera is an enjoyable page turner. Reader can learn about Yellowstone and about police methods. There are some interesting characters and relationships. Its a good book.

This was well written and the setting came through clearly. Characters were believable and circumstances creative. This was a good all-around read.

The book is a very interesting mystery about a murder in Yellowstone National Park. The book provides very detailed descriptions of characters and scenery.

I think this book is a great read...an exciting murder mystery that kept me constantly turning the pages until I finished! It is filled with super descriptions of wildlife and wilderness. You can tell the author has a love for both. The book also held interesting (and understandable) forensic and technical information which was deftly woven into this well-told story. This is a book for everyone. Im anxious to see what author, John Mecom will give us in the future.

John Mecom has written a spellbinding thriller in The Caldera Incident. Hes a born story teller. Also,I enjoyed reading his descriptive narrative of a part of the U.S. about which I know very little.

This is the first book by a new author, John Mecom. I hope to see more of his work. One often sees Ernest Hemingways writing style depicted as containing short, declarative sentences. It strikes me, as a Hemingway fan, that Mecom could have taught Hemingway how to write short, declarative sentences. But more than that, Mecom has a gift for succinct, colorful description that is rare indeed. The book is a very interesting and exciting read, combining interwoven subplots that play off each other and keep the readers interest. There is something in this book for everyone. In addition, it seems apparent that Mecom has an eye for detail that is rarely paralleled. I hope to see more from this author. Without giving away the ending of the book, for example, the author sets up the possibility of a sequel. Whether that will be the case or not remains to be seen. The author seems to have a great imagination; and I would expect his writing to range among subjects. Time will tell.

The skillful blending of the world of Yellowstone with mystery and wildlife made a thoroughly enjoyable read. Thank you John for this great book.
