Definitely pulls you in from the start.

As always, I have to state that this book was given to me for free in exchange for a review.
I always like to state that this does not impact my review or my opinion of the book. My reviews are honest and my own opinion of the story, performance, and overall thoughts on the book.

Definitely pulls you in from the start. I was thinking, oh Twilight Zone but was surprised by where the story went. Pleasantly surprised! An intriguing story but I was disappointed by the unnecessary anti-religious comments. Believing you have a soul does not automatically translate to religion. But overall, I enjoyed the story and hope to read more from this author.

This book is really good. Everything happens so fast in the beginning that it keeps the reader on the edge. It is a good short story which is fast-paced and makes for an interesting read. The climax gives an indication to what may happen next opening a wide range of possibilities for what's gonna happen.

Williams War

I didn't really connect with this story.William dreams,there are clones and abuse.I was lost.Tony Bozemans narration was good. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.' 

Great performance

Loved the performer and the book. Loved the accents. Can’t wait for part 2 to come out.

William's War: Earth Under Siege, Bk 1--Czn't Wait

I can't wait for Book 2, it can only get better. Slow starting getting the story going. Needed to listen a third time, I needed to really pay attention better! Fast finish left to reader wanting more. It seems to have great potential!

Young adult science fiction

William’s War is interesting sci-fi/fantasy. It has several intriguing ideas, but it needs to be much longer to develop all these concepts.The central figure is 14 years old and the dialogue is at that level, if not a bit younger.

Much too short

This may be a good start for a book but I think it is much too short to get into. While there is time to like the character of Wil There is not enough here to like Sarah. Tory Bozeman the Narrator did a fantastic job. I hope she does book 2.




This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.

Enjoyable read, I look forward to the sequel

William's War, my second read/listen from author Robert McDermott. I don't restrict myself to a particular genre. I'm a sucker for anything with memorable characters! Narrator Tory Bozeman’s matter of fact narration added to the book’s enjoyment. I'm not a real science fiction reader but really enjoyed this short read. I was given an Audible copy of this book & am voluntarily reviewing it. I look forward to the sequel. (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 - July 24, 2018).

William’s War Part I

I received this audiobook free at my request and am leaving this review voluntarily.

William’s War Part I: Earth Under Siege is a highly engaging, fast paced Sci-fi adventure. Robert McDermott uses a lot of very interesting concepts around time and time travel to bring this story to life. While listening, I kept being reminded of short stories of Isaac Asimov that I read in my youth. While this is sci-fi, it’s not too over the top that it becomes difficult to understand. The language and tone of the story are very easy to understand and follow. While I know that this isn’t marketed as a YA book, I feel like my kids would really be able to get into the story along with me, and it would hold their interest.

Tory Bozeman‘s narration was nothing short of spectacular. The various voices he gave to the characters really helped the listener to know who was speaking.

I’m definitely looking forward to Part II!

Dystopian Future War

Great story and narration. Time is like a stream put a rock in the flow of it, and all it does is flow around it. A boy's imagination is no different. Will's war is set in a dystopian future where we're at war with an alien species. Good vs. Evil. And a young boy is thrust in the middle of it. Packed full of action and science fiction, this one is a must read!

Interesting Concept, too short

I had a little trouble connecting to the characters in this story, and even the story itself. I listened twice, and found myself drifting away in other thoughts, it did not keep me interested. Not to say it was bad, it wasn't. It's just that a lot seemed to happen in a short span and left a cliffhanger. The book it too short. Whatever part 2 is going to be, McDermott should have waited and made it one book. Perhaps if the second book was already out and I could have listened to both parts it would be different.

I may listen to part 2 when it's available to see where this goes. Narration was fine.
