The Taking is a contemporary thriller written by Dean Koontz. Set in modern-day America, the story centers on a former government agent named Kelly Rigg who investigates a series of gruesome child abductions.

The Taking is a tale of two seemingly unrelated people. Matt is the narrator who lives an ordinary life in a small town. Nothing extraordinary except for a set of bizarre recurring dreams that reveal the world to be far more sinister than he ever imagined, and then he meets his doppelganger - his "other" self. Ariadne is far different from him but they quickly become fascinated with each other, and then more intensely. Matt's unlikely romance with this other version of himself leads them on a journey where truth becomes stranger than fiction.

He had just turned the car on when he felt it. It was subtle, but he knew that soon it would be anything but subtle. In fact, it would be impossible to ignore. His bowels were in revolt and his stomach was threatening to make a break for it as well.

Jack's father, Tony, was an FBI agent who was murdered in cold blood. The now retired FBI agent he replaced has been trying to find out why his father was killed and what happened to the other agents in his unit. In the process of trying to uncover the truth about his father's death and the whereabouts of his fellow agents, Jack must deal with stalkers and murderers who are after him and his family members as well.
