Bestselling Author Richard McMaster Announces Free Ebook Giveaway for 'Voyage Of Life'

Bestselling author Richard McMaster has announced that the ebook version of his historical fiction novel, 'Voyage Of Life', will be available at no charge from August 27 through August 29, 2024, on Amazon. McMaster considers 'Voyage Of Life' to be one of his signature works, and both readers and reviewers have praised its depth, complexity, and emotional resonance.

'Voyage Of Life' is a captivating coming-of-age story set in the sixties, revolving around a secret that takes a lifetime to uncover. It narrates the life of a man named Sean, beginning post-World War II, traversing through the transformative sixties, and covering the triumphs and tragedies of his life up to his old age. The novel intricately details Sean's experiences of losing loved ones and ultimately reuniting with his first love.

The narrative is creatively told using Thomas Cole's 'Voyage of Life' paintings as metaphors for Sean's life stages: childhood, youth, manhood, and old age. The verdant landscapes and calm waters of childhood turn turbulent in youth, leading to the rocky shores of manhood, and finally, a promising sky of old age.

According to Dennis Keller of The Hudson Weekly, McMaster's characters are not simplistic archetypes but fully-formed individuals with unique voices and perspectives. Keller also commended McMaster's mastery of plot and pacing, describing his novels as "page-turning" and "gripping," yet thoughtful and reflective. McMaster's attention to historical detail further enriches his storytelling, as seen in his other works like 'Aaron's War' and 'A Love Divided By Time'.

'Aaron's War' delves into the struggles of a Jewish soldier during World War II, exploring themes such as antisemitism, PTSD, and forbidden love. The story follows Aaron Vanko, an innocent Iowa farm boy who faces the ultimate test of taking another's life in the name of duty. Aaron's journey of self-discovery, courage, and sacrifice has been lauded for its vivid characters, intricate plots, and emotional depth.

'A Love Divided By Time' offers a unique perspective on love and life, blending elements of romance and suspense. It narrates the story of Forrest and Allie, who believe they found love in a previous life and are reborn to find each other again. The novel explores themes of eternal love and the quest for justice, making it a compelling read.

McMaster's works are available on Amazon, and the free ebook giveaway of 'Voyage Of Life' provides an excellent opportunity for new readers to experience his storytelling prowess. This limited-time offer is significant as it allows wider access to literature that not only entertains but also provides profound insights into the human experience.
