Disciplined. Gifted. Unique. Prized. These are the monks of the Shingai Order. Dedicating their lives to creating harmony from chaos, the Shingai have a never-ending job in a broken Empire. Their knowledge is so rare, their talents so vast, that every ruler desires even a single monk as advisor, making the Shingai very selective in who they choose to serve.
Ending his years-long training, Junior Initiate Hsulor will embark on a journey to discover which of the three Shingai paths he is to follow. Trained in the Ways of the Owl, Swan, and Tiger – disciplines of science, art, and fighting – Hsulor will be tested through the Calling, a series of trials to determine his future. Once complete, he will be sent into the Empire to serve as his ancestors have before him, guiding the galaxy’s future.
But the young initiate will encounter new beliefs apart from the teachings of his people. As the consequences of each test grow, so do the consequences of new ideas. Hsulor will confront the millennia-old teachings of his Masters, held as long as there have been monks to pass them.
The Calling takes you around the galaxy and into the heart of belief as one young Shingai searches for meaning and purpose in his life and the lives of his people.
The Calling eBook Matt Yocum
This novel is an unusual science fiction story. It's a sci fi setting that tells the tale of one man's spiritual journey. Hsulor has been trained by the Shingai and sets out to find his calling and his place in the galaxy.In The Calling, we deal with space travel and different worlds but this mostly seems to be the result of exploration of humans from Earth who have terra formed other worlds either for their own ideology or just for breathing room.
The book is divided into three sections. The first has Hsulor solving a mystery involving scientific research and rigid parties that refuse to cooperate with him or each other, the second involves his search for perfection to fulfill a test for the Shingai, and the third involves him helping futuristic Jews evacuate a planet where they've been persecuted by hostiles.
While the ultimate destination of a character matters in a book like this, it's really the journey that determines the quality of the book and Yocum does a solid job. The book builds a complex universe where humans have formed some new as well as familiar societies. However, it's the characters that truly make this journey worthwhile from a woman Hsulor meets on a space station to a single mother he meets on another world. Most poignant of all is the final section and the men Hsulor fights along. Individually, the characters are breathing and fascinating. Collectively, the idea that the space age will continue to see the Jewish people persecuted yet still fighting for their existence is both heartbreaking and yet inspiring.
This is a very enjoyable, thoughtful, and evocative read and I heartily recommend it.

The Calling eBook Matt Yocum Reviews
First, the end makes you want to follow Hsulor further. Going from the end of the book to the beginning reveals a vey intricate development of the main character. It takes a relatively practical and scientific man and moves him into a the very human nature of feelings, doubts, and questioning. Although there is a sci-fi flavor to this book, that is only used as a vehicle to put the main character in different environments as the reader can watch his character develop.
Once you start reading and see Huslor shaped by his experiences you can't put the book down.
The Calling is the kind of story that manages to encompass the total human experience within its pages and leave you wanting more. Set in the distant future, it chronicles the efforts of the protagonist, Hsulor as he attempts to fulfill the calling of his people, the Shingai. The calling is a series of tests that are given to each initiate in the areas of science, art and fighting to determine what path they will follow in order to serve the people of the galaxy.
The author divides his book into three parts that each takes a different approach. The first chronicles Hsulor's test into the path of science that seeks to challenge the reader's mind. The second part describes Hsulor's test into the path of the arts which takes a drastic turn when the hero experiences a heart-wrenching, horrifying turn of events that changes his life forever. The third and final part describes Huslor's test in the path of fighting. Ironically, the battle for Huslor's soul is just as brutal as the physical battle that the young Shingai is engaged in.
Added to the layered storytelling is a rich tapestry of worlds and people; from the dying, techno-industrial world of Citiworld to the wonder of underwater Marinas and from the courage and unconditional love displayed by a young mother to the tenacity of a persecuted race. All come together to tell a tale about the ultimate search for the Truth.
If you are looking for a book that is unlike anything else currently out there in the science-fiction genre, then I would suggest reading the Calling.
I know I am biased because I am the author's sister. But putting that aside, I've had a hard copy of this book for years and leant it out to many friends and associates of mine. They ALL loved it. One person even read it in one night. He couldn't put it down. You will learn with the main character as he grows from each assignment. You will laugh and cry as the story progresses. You will understand why the universe isn't really that big if you search for the true Creator and giver of life.
I promise you won't be disappointed. Try it, you'll love it!
