A Caller’s Game by J.D. Barker is a non-stop roller coaster ride. It is equally hard to accept what occurs in this absolutely engaging novel could ever be possible. Eventually, it doesn’t make any difference as I liked it a lot. I usually don’t like to be interfered once I reach about the 75% mark of the novel. However, for the first time while reading A Caller’s Game I don’t want to be interfered from the first page. The reason behind it is the action which started to develop directly from the first page and it last till the end.

She’s reckless, keeps tight control over everything along with her in-the-booth sidekick Billy. She loves her 11 year old daughter Charlotte.

Caller Bernie proceeds with his “game,” From her broadcast booth, requesting that Jordan settle on impossible decisions. Decision that propose Bernie might be attempting to set things straight from a tragic incident that Jordan engineered years prior. Whatever unknown reasons, it’s very clear he’s a mechanical wizard.
