The Caldera Incident

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

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.

This is the authors third book and I have read them all. John just keeps getting better and better with each story. When jerry steinbach told me john had a new book out I put my current read on hold and was not disappointed.. Well done John. When is the next book going to be ready? The story is engaging and the characters well developed. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading a good book

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 happen to meet the author while near Old Faithful this fall. He mentioned he had written a book set in Yellowstone and I said I would look for it. Well, I couldnt put it down. John Mecom is scientist turned mystery writer and readers of The Caldera Incident will be very glad he did. The characters are well-drawn and interesting not cliched; the plot is thick and textured;and, the references about the park, its environs, habitat, and inhabitants are very informative and make one want to know more about Yellowstone. I read this book in two days and cant wait for another one.

From the moment I started reading the book, I couldnt put it down. Well written and moves at a rapid pace. Murder, mystery, romance & Yellowstone information. What more could you want. Loved it!

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.

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.

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.

THE CALDERA INCIDENT is a fast moving, intricate murder mystery that is hard to put down. The multiple characters are believable and the plot plausible, especially in this era of political polarization. The backdrop of Yellowstone National Park is grounded in scientific fact.
