Bestselling WWII Novel 'Aaron's War' Free on Amazon Nov 4-5

Bestselling author Richard McMaster is releasing his acclaimed World War II novel "Aaron's War" as a free ebook on November 4-5, 2025, available through his Amazon author page. The novel tells the powerful story of Aaron Vanko, whose world shatters on the eve of WWII when he learns 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 destruction of churches and synagogues, the horrors of death camps, and German soldiers clutching Bibles, forcing him to confront questions of faith, identity, and what separates belief from humanity. The story follows his journey home broken, until a twist of fate brings him face-to-face with the German soldier who has tormented his dreams, forcing him to choose between vengeance and forgiveness.

Richard McMaster has established himself as an accomplished author praised for his depth, complexity, and emotional resonance in storytelling. According to Dennis Keller of The Hudson Weekly, McMaster avoids simplistic character archetypes, instead creating fully-formed individuals with unique voices and perspectives. His mastery of plot and pacing keeps readers engaged while allowing for moments of quiet reflection, earning his work descriptions as both "page-turning" and "thoughtful." Beyond "Aaron's War," McMaster has written several other acclaimed works including the psychological thriller "The Attic," which follows Byron Kelly as he faces assault charges after his wife's death and becomes a whistleblower hiding in an attic while caring for a dying old man. His novel "A Love Divided by Time" blends romance and suspense, described as "one part The Notebook, one-part suspenseful psychopath story, and one part Somewhere in Time."

McMaster's favorite work, "Voyage Of Life," uses Thomas Cole's paintings as metaphors for the protagonist's life journey through childhood, youth, manhood, and old age. Before his writing career, McMaster was a healthcare executive who headed three startup companies, including one ranked fifth largest of its kind in the United States. He actively participates in writing communities through The Authors Guild, Phoenix Book Club, Arizona Authors Association, and the Arizona Traditions Writing Club, which he co-founded.
