Bestselling WWII Novel 'Aaron's War' Available Free in Ebook Format for Limited Time

The Amazon best-selling novel Aaron's War by Richard McMaster will be available at no charge in ebook format on November 4 and 5, 2025. This limited-time offer provides readers with free access to a story that explores profound themes of devotion, faith, and redemption against the backdrop of World War II, a period that continues to captivate millions of Americans through works like Saving Private Ryan and Band of Brothers.

The novel follows protagonist Aaron Vanko, whose world shatters on the eve of World War II when he learns two devastating truths: his friends doubt his ability to kill, and his Ukrainian mother reveals he is Jewish, destroying his plans to marry the pastor's daughter he loves. As Aaron fights across Europe, he witnesses the ruins of churches and synagogues, the horrors of death camps, and German soldiers clutching Bibles. Throughout his journey, he grapples with questions of faith, identity, and what separates belief from humanity, returning home broken until a twist of fate forces him to confront the German soldier who has tormented his dreams and choose between vengeance and forgiveness.

The ebook version will be available for free download at https://www.amazon.com/stores/Richard-McMaster/author/B01LDIJ2QU during the two-day promotion. This opportunity is significant for readers interested in World War II literature and character-driven narratives that explore complex moral and spiritual questions.

In a story about the author printed by The Hudson Weekly, Dennis Keller praised McMaster's literary contributions, noting that the author never falls into the trap of presenting characters as simplistic archetypes or caricatures, instead allowing them to emerge as fully-formed individuals with unique voices and perspectives. Keller also highlighted McMaster's mastery of plot and pacing, describing his writing as both gripping and thoughtful, elevating his work beyond mere genre fiction.

McMaster is also the author of the best-selling psychological thriller The Attic, which tells the emotional story of Byron Kelly, who faces assault charges and a lawsuit after his wife's death, flees to Chicago, assumes a new identity, and becomes a whistleblower on the run from the FBI. The novel follows Byron as he hides in the attic of a dying old man, Henry Steele, caring for him while learning about family secrets that have estranged Henry from his daughter.

Another of McMaster's works, A Love Divided by Time, has been described as one part The Notebook, one part suspenseful psychopath story, and one part Somewhere in Time. The book follows Forrest and Allie, who believe they found love in a previous life and are born again in a game of hide-and-seek to find each other in plain sight. When tragedy strikes, Forrest makes a pact to find her killer, raise their daughter, and find peace by joining her in the ever after.

A Writer's Digest critique stated that A Love Divided by Time is exemplary in its voice and writing style, maintaining a unique and consistent voice throughout. McMaster's favorite book, Voyage Of Life, details the life journey of Sean Buchanan through metaphoric depictions of the four stages of life in Thomas Cole's Voyage of Life paintings: childhood, youth, manhood, and old age. The painting's depictions serve as a metaphor for his life, with the verdant landscape and calm waters of childhood becoming turbulent in youth and turning rocky in manhood as he faces numerous obstacles.
