The Caldera Incident

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.

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 book is a very well-written action novel that takes place in a beautiful area of the country --- Wyomng and Montana. He weaves a good tale and describes the countryside in a very appealing way. I definitely enjoyed reading this book and would recommend it for other readers.

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

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 author has put together a believable and interesting story set in a real location. The descriptions of the locations and the storyline are detailed but not overbearing in length. He develops the characters well and makes the reader feel a realtionship with them. As I began reading the book, I found myself wanting to keep reading to find out what was going to happen next; I read the book over a two day stretch.

John Mecom has managed to combine a murder mystery and a stunning outdoor setting-Yellowstone. he writes with the authority of a biologist and outdoorsman. This is an exciting read by the fireplace on a cold evening. The author has done a good job of setting the scene for an even more exciting sequel. This is one we may see on film someday.

Outstanding read from an author who has vast knowledge of the Yellowstone National Park enviorns and the technical/forensic background to create a super story. His wildlife and animal expertise is evident. A great murder mystery that will not let put down the book till finished. Looking for John Mecom to follow this with another thriller.

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

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