THIS STORY is about a remarkable Viking family of great genius in
the 11th century. The family was able to coax tremendous wealth
from the earth by invention and hard work, only to be driven from
country to country by despotic kings and governments of TAKERS. If
you are of Scandinavian, Scottish, Irish or English decent, these
may have been your struggling ancestors. The action in this book
takes place in a time before the protection of the Magna Carta, the
Constitution of the United States and the American Bill of Rights.
Read about a heroic families' struggle for freedom and justice. If

will find the Magnusson family struggling with the same issues of
the government TAKING the intellectual capital and hard work of the
people...1,000 years ago. Readers have said, "It's a Viking James
Bond...it's a page turner." Others have said, "THE TAKERS are a
metaphor of today's business unfriendly American government." It's
the ruling (TAKING) class with their sharp swords, against the
producers of wealth and jobs.

too deeply, she clashes with a serial killer who harbors a hate of
interracial relationships and has a passion for nursery rhymes.
