But in the tiny town of El Indio, no one wants to answer their questions, and everyone is hiding something. Sarah went missing in the desert at midnight… but what was she even doing there? And why are there tracks that lead to and from the last place she was seen. The twins will have to find her without falling prey themselves. And nothing in the desert after dark is as it seems. The world won't let them rest. Cage and Joule are back in the fray. Is Sarah even still alive? Humans may be the worst disaster yet. The Taken is the fifth book in the fast-paced Black Carbon apocalyptic thriller series by USA Today bestselling author A.J. Scudiere.

I've been chasing the high of finishing another book since I could read. At age 8, that passion turned to finishing writing my own books. The good news is, I have gotten a lot better at it since then. With almost 20 books out and over 20 Best Suspense and Best Fiction of the Year awards and several Audie nominations, I am now working on a new series while continuing the last one! A scientist at heart, I'm a firm believer in getting the story right. Most days you can find me at my keyboard if I'm not traveling or blowing things up (for "research purposes.")
