To End All Wars

A Science Fiction Mystery Novel

By: David Tallerman

Narrated by: MacLeod Andrews

The horrors of the trenches unveil an extraordinary mystery....

It's 1916, in the heart of World War I. The eve of the Battle of the Somme. During a perilous night mission in No Man's Land, Lieutenant Rafael Forrester witnesses a peculiar light followed by a vast explosion.

Wounded and delirious, Forrester finds himself shipped home to England, to the country house hospital of Sherston, where he learns he may face a court-martial for the deaths of the men under his command. Yet in the strange environs of Sherston, where any act of rebellion seems impossible, Forrester soon comes to fear for more than his freedom: haunted by hallucinatory dreams of his time at the front, he suspects he may be losing his mind.

Little does he realize that Sherston conceals its own incredible secrets. Ones with the potential to change not only the course of the war, but all of human history.

Don't miss this remarkable story of conflict, military service, discovery, and of a force beyond human comprehension. To End All Wars is an otherworldly thriller set during WWI. A mixture between 1917, Shutter Island, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and Arrival.

Critic reviews

"Thoughtful and atmospheric.... A haunting story about loss, empathy, and the human soul." (Adrian Tchaikovsky, Arthur C. Clarke Award-winning author of Children of Time)

Science Fiction WWI Story

David Tallerman has created a unique, thought provoking, historical science fiction thriller. This well crafted, suspenseful sci-fi mystery is revealed in a manner to keep the reader/listener engaged. The story deviated from the path that I had anticipated which was a pleasant surprise. MacLeod Andrews did a good job narrating this book with an English accent. I was provided a free review copy of this audio book and am voluntarily leaving this review.

Intriguing. Yet...

The beginning was pretty catching and mysterious, but after that it got too boring and repetitive. I never seemed to reach a peak or hieght of suspense. It simply fizzled out in my opinion.

A very interesting story

I really enjoyed this book. I hope this guy publishes a few more novels soon.

Thoughtful...

Clearly this author has written many books. He is no amateur. I found myself captivated from start to end and was satisfied with the end. It’s literary sci-fi at its finest set in an era I’d love to have seen.

Refreshing and interesting

This is one of the most beautifully written books in this genre I have heard/read in years. The twists are interesting and I enjoyed just about every aspect of the story. The only thing I was not a fan of, interestingly was the epilogue. I felt it was not necessary and ended up bluntly hammering home all of the subtly messages that had so wonderfully been crafted through the main story. However in all this was a great book.
