Resumen del Editor

Will Stark is a self-made multibillionaire, happily married, and a proud father. He arrives home to find his house destroyed and his family murdered and is himself rescued from certain death by a mysterious trio.

His rescuers are part of a splinter faction of a centuries-old secret society that has developed incredible technological advances and unlocked the method to release humanity's innate potential. Will was mistakenly believed to be a key dissident and fugitive, on the run from the primary group, known as the Aliomenti.

Society believes him dead, and Will elects to work from the shadows to learn the secrets of the Aliomenti - secrets that can help him seek his own form of vengeance. Or, perhaps, become the man they'd sought all along.

this was some Terminator bullsh**

Overall the story was good but I was expecting something completely different than what I got. And I don't know if I'm either angry or happy about that!

leaving me confused because now half of me wants to buy the second book and the other half doesn't. Needless to say if you like books that leave you confused buy this book!

So excited!!!

I was so excited when I found this series on Audible not too long ago! This series is one of the first ones I got for my first Kindle a decade ago. It has been so long since I last read this series and so it is a gem and a half to get to experience it through a new medium.

The characters have depth and especially the MC. His struggles… the pain… the sorrow… and his blazing will! I can’t begin to imagine what he has to go through in this book…!
The storytelling was superb and kept me engaged. I remember having trouble paying attention in college a decade ago when I first read it on Kindle.
This has the feel of a Slice of Life story which wasn’t a genre I knew about when I first read it. I have found a joy with it when there is a sci-fi or fantasy being wove into it.
It also has a love story to it of a man that will go against and through anything for his family… including time itself!

The narrator gave a great performance and brought to life one of my favorite series. I “had” to jump immediately into the next one once I was done so I actually finished this several days ago but made sure to come back to leave my review so someone else will want to check this series out if they haven’t already.

An interesting new approach

A new approach to a long time favorite in story telling. Yes, it jumps around and there is little action. The interesting parts are the secret organizations, their histories and members. What was the bases of their beliefs and how did they cultivate their members?

The genre of storytelling is difficult at best. But there are enough of questions on how the relationships were formed that kept my interest and will get me to read the next one.

Jumps around a bit, leaves a few holes but good.

Jumps around a bit. Some questions are lingering, but I suppose future books will answer? Worth a listen, realize alot will not be answered immediately.

Complex but intriguing

So, where do I begin to explain the complex and yet understandable unique story.
One guy, Will Stark, had been part of an organization, The Aliomenti, that had discovered a way to live healthier and in consequence added power to the individual. The organization didn't want to share these discoveries, so that's where Will Stark bid farewell, and started another organised group called The Alliance. Off course group A hunted group B, and that's what was still happening 1200 years later.

WOW! What a great creative story!

If you liked the I am Number 4 series you will love the the adult version A Question of Will.
This is a creative story, fast moving, super well read and performed, this is the reason I enjoy Audible so much, the surprise when you find a diamond quality book when you least expect it. This book has super powers, time travel,ethics, value judgements, great villains, and the reader Todd Mc claret is outstanding.
I thought this was an all round great book!
