Dominick Dunn is in people acquisition. When the phone rings he shuffles off to the far corners of the globe to retrieve the captured, then turns them over to his employer. He doesn't actually believe these people are immortal, but the pay is good and he likes to travel. Despite rumors that his quarry meets an unthinkable fate at the hands of his employer, he's content with his lot in life. Aaron Wessker is miserable. His life has not gone according to plan. Trapped in a dead end job bartending in Vegas, he longs for a family he lacks, or at least the possibility of a girlfriend. Their lives are about to intersect, causing them both to rethink their place in the world. More importantly they will have to change their opinions of the possibility of immortality. Unfortunately for both of them they will have to do this very quickly. Dunn's quarry is also being pursued by something much more deadly than his employers. Dominick Dunn is about to become the hunted and Aaron's world is about to be turned on its side.

Would you listen to The Calling Tree again? Why?

Yes, I plan on reading this story again, as it kept my interest throughout the entire story. That is a big bonus for me.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Calling Tree?

Realizing that your life is in danger: that is what Dominick Dunn realizes... and has to face that danger head on.

Which scene was your favorite?

My favorite scene ... well, pretty much the entire book.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Immortal. Danger.

Any additional comments?

Nope, though this is a very well written book... each character is brought out by both the author and the narrater, and is a very enjoyable story.

I was provided a free copy of this book for a honest opinion.

Loving It

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would recommend and have already done so! The book is interesting and different. Lots of twists and turns and a good pace throughout. Looking forward to the next in the series (but this was definitely able to stand alone, no big cliffhangers at the end of the book.) Even though I have reservations about the hero's and heroine's jobs, I found the characters likable.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

It kept moving and had interesting twists.

Which scene was your favorite?

Rhea at the airport.

Great Change of Pace

They just keep getting better! The Calling Tree is my 3rd C.F. Waller book, and definitely NOT my last. I really enjoyed this story and look forward to the next book. I could not put this one down! Loaded w/action, mystery, adventure and surprises all the way to the end. Narration by Wyatt Baker was great, he managed different voices for each character, and they were consistent, very well done!

Definitely NOT My Last C.F. Waller Book!!!

Any additional comments?

I was provided this audiobook through Audiobook Boom at no charge by the author, publisher and/or narrator in exchange for an unbiased review.

I think this book was fascinating. The world Waller created was fresh and added a new twist to the “Immortality” theme. His writing is comprehensive with moments to chuckle and questions to ponder. Although I very much enjoyed the story, all their abrupt “endings” were pretty dismal. Research on DNA and biblical references were woven in well. The Angel/Demon and Heaven/Hell references never became apparent. I was left with wondering if there really was a good or bad side. But there was no question as to who I disliked.

There were so many people involved at the end... and that’s my main complaint. Too many unnecessary people with no distinct hero.
This is going to be hard for me to explain... sorry if it makes no sense.
When the story begins, Dominic Dunn appears to be the main character. In reality, his character wasn’t even needed. Ron-E, another on his team, was the only one to actually do anything, at least, anything important. She could have fulfilled both character’s roles. Aaron Wessker is introduced a bit later. These two turn out to be the leading characters. I think there were too many people having too many dialogs that just weren’t necessary. Any information I gained from the supporting cast could have been worked into furthering relationship growths between the most important characters.

Wyatt Baker’s reading was fabulous. Hope to hear more from him.

Two Thumbs Up.

A CROWDED ARENA OF IMMORTAL DISTRUST

Have you ever listened too or read a novel where you thought it was going in one direction and went a completely different way? C.F. Waller is becoming one of my favorite authors quickly. Every time I listen or read another one of his novels I think I'm not going to enjoy it as much as his others and BAM, it ends up being better than the one I had already finished. The Calling Tree is an excellent novel about immortality. Wyatt Baker does an amazing job at expressing emotions and making each character unique.

At first not having read much on what this book was actually about and just seeing who the author was, I was thinking it was going to have some kind of vampire or other twist to it when I realized immortality was one of the main themes throughout the novel, but if that is what you are looking for then The Calling Tree is not the book for you! However, if you like novels about immortality, the true nature of humans, history and family, then The Calling Tree is a must add to your list. I read a lot of books addressing the whole immortality subject. Whether it be vampires, werewolves, making a name for themselves through art, writing or something else. There are tons on the subject, but I haven't read one until now where the subject isn't over blown, it just simply is a matter of living. This is how I would think an immortal would live their life.

You should really listen to this audio book! So far I have to admin my recommendations to now say you need to listen and read everything by C.F. Waller because I can't just pick one book from his collection that I like the most!

Another FANTASTIC novel by CF Waller

I was given this free review copy audio book at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

This was a fantastic book about immortality and the human condition. The book had a lot of characters and, at times, that was challenging to keep straight, but it never detracted from the experience. The narrator was decent. He had good inflection, and didn't sound like he was just reading aloud. I'll admit it was not a predictable story and I didn't know where things were going, but I sure wanted to stick with it and find out. To me, that is the true sign of a good book.

Great start of an interesting series

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I have recommended this book to several of my friends. Mr. Waller has a vivid imagination and the ability to develop characters and a storyline that is interesting and plausible. It makes the listener wonder what else he has up his sleeve.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Calling Tree?

The most interesting and therefore memorable moments are definitely when Shelly shows up and arranges characters in boxes. Some of these descriptions will make you cringe while you listen harder not to miss the details.

What about Wyatt Baker’s performance did you like?

He made the characters unique and recognizable without over indulging individual nuances. It was an easy listen as the narrator didn't over power the story. He nailed Shelly perfectly.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

No extreme reaction. I enjoyed listening and was never bored or distracted. Can't wait for the following stories.

Any additional comments?

Recommend this book with an "A" rating. A well done story without gratuitous profanity or sexual references.

I Said "Immortal", not "Immoral"

Prior to the Internet They used to say you were two calls away from anyone else in the world. In the calling tree, to be two call always means you are dead. Our two semi immortals find themselves at the bottom of the calling tree, exposed and hunted they band together with an ex cab driver in Vegas to elude the true immortals and the private mercenaries that seek them out. One to obliterate them the other two harness their genes to extend their own lives. Be ready for a rollercoaster ride of a multi sided chase with a shock of an ending with plenty of twists. And remember folks. Never. Never never piss off a little girl. I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.

You're only two call away from death

I enjoyed listening to this book, I was a little skeptical about it at first, however Wyatt Baker did an amazing job keeping me hooked on the words of C.F. Waller. I must say I look forward to reading or listening to more from both parties. I would definitely recommend this book

Great Book

The Calling Tree: A Tale of Immortality
By: C. F. Waller Narrated by: Wyatt Baker

The Calling Tree is definitely not what I expected; it was a pleasant surprise. When it comes to immortality, Waller writes in a completely different way. I found myself actually rooting for the bad guys for a bit. This is a great start to a new series. The mystery and suspense will keep readers on the edge of their seat. It took me a while to get into it, but once I did, I couldn’t stop listening! I loved The Calling Tree and recommend it to all readers. The overall rating for me is 4 stars for the story and 4 stars for the narration.
