"Here was my husband, a man of intelligence and great analytical ability, telling me about two different childhood encounters with nonhuman beings..." For Karla Turner, it began in the spring of 1988 - but it had, in reality, begun much earlier.
"Two months before, our lives were normal. Yet here we were, being followed in the middle of the night, having spent the evening actually considering the absurd possibility that alien beings had somehow touched our lives. We didn't realize, at that time, just how deeply and irrevocably they would change our world..."
For Dr. Turner, her husband, and her child, there would be sudden, shocking discoveries - of long-buried memories as well as actual physical evidence of ongoing intrusion: the marks on their bodies, the sightings, the "missing time" episodes.
"Sometimes I still tried to pretend that it was all in our imaginations..."
It wasn't in their imaginations. It was real. And it's all here, in the most chilling, convincing account of alien contact since "Communion."

- It all started with INTO THE FRINGE
​
After months of working alongside the late Karla Turner’s husband, Elton, Turner’s “researcher” work, TAKEN: INSIDE THE ALIEN-HUMAN ABDUCTION AGENDA, was finally reissued in September of 2013 with a fresh face, bringing the work back to life and widely available to critics and believers alike.
​
INTO THE FRINGE was first released in 1992, and as the original tagline on the cover read, “Karla Turner and her family didn’t believe in UFOs. Until the day they no longer had a choice....”
​
It was clear that Turner’s story would not only open minds, but also provide closure for the traumatic events this work describes.
​
As with the main purpose of the re-release of TAKEN, this book remains as true to the original as possible with the exception of updated visuals, minor fixes and print adjustments

​
... The eight women in this book report communications ranging from telepathic thoughts to virtual reality dreams, but there is no coherent single truth that emerges from their experiences, nor from the hundreds of others in the abduction syndrome since the 1960s. The sheer number of different messages, often contradictory, produces confusion, mistrust and a sense of manipulation, even if that manipulation inspires positively or disturbs negatively.
"Perfectly real aliens exist out there," says one of the women in TAKEN, "and it seems one kind wants to help us and another kind wants to deceive us."
As each voice is offered for public consideration, there are themes that repeat. One of the most prominent is genetic harvesting from earth life to create a hybrid species. TAKEN suggests the possibility that an alien intelligence has been using genetic manipulation to create evolving species on our planet over eons and that Homo sapiens might be one such genetically engineered species. If so, we on the Petri dish might paradoxically be trying to study whatever watches and studies us. Consciousness of this Other without running from it or getting down on our knees to it could be a significant, perhaps unexpected, step in human evolution and survival.

Bringing TAKEN into the 21st Century
In January of 2013, I got in touch with Mr. Elton Turner with a proposition to re-issue and ‘refresh’ Dr. Karla Turner’s works. With copies fetching over $100 on sites such as Amazon and eBay, I found it unfair that many believers, researchers and skeptics were missing out on what is truly one of the most important written works on the paranormal itinerary. It has been an honour, a pleasure and a comforting journey to bring “Taken: Inside the Alien-Human Agenda” into the 21st century where the importance and relevancy of Dr. Turner’s works have not aged one bit.
Dr. Karla Turner was lost at such a young age, but it is through these everlasting footprints we may never forget her impact on the modern world.
With the exception of updated visuals, minor fixes and print adjustments; this book remains as true to the original as possible.

​
November third, two weeks after Dr. Turner’s initial call, Ted Rice stepped over my threshold, and secure reality as we once had both known it was never to be the same again.
​
At first glance you sense his intelligent, warm personal demeanor. Shortly thereafter, I came to appreciate his infectious style of humor that would leave a living room audience begging for mercy during one of his numerous side-splitting comedic routines. Paradoxically, the serious side of Ted Rice reveals an extraordinary psychic sensitive ability which allows him to peer through the veiled, darkened corridors into an alien netherworld.
Yes, we asked to see the truth, knowing ‘the truth would set us free.’ Yet neither one of us was prepared for the discoveries about to be revealed.
