About this listen
When William gets thrown 500 years into the future, humanity is on its knees in a war for survival. The same gene that sent William to the future brings him other benefits. As his body develops special powers he meets Sara, the resistance's best warrior.
Sara is the only other person to have shown these powers and has become formidable in their use.
Can Will develop a friendship with Sara and between the two of them do they stand a chance against earth's invaders?
©2018 Andrew McDermott (P)2019 Andrew McDermottA nice concept for a series obviously aimed at younger readers, but with a lost opportunity to make it really interesting by giving more character to the main protagonist. This reader felt little (if any) empathy with William and so the entire novella felt two dimensional, at best, without any investment of caring in what happened to him or the girl, Sara. A great pity as the ideas in themselves were good and the ending obviously promises more adventures in the future. The narration by Tony Bozeman was delivered briskly, well read but again emphasising that two dimensional feeling so that I found my concentration drifting away and had to make an effort to return to the story.
I was fortunate in being freely gifted a complimentary copy of William's War, by the rights holder, at my request via Audiobook Boom. Thank you. It is not a book which I would recommend to most readers, even big S.F.fans, although I do feel there is a lot of potential here and that it could well appeal to young adults and older children more interested in the adventures than the people themselves. It is a young superhero story, more cartoon than three dimensional realism.
