A review by miramichijim
A Beckoning War by Matthew Murphy

5.0

This book, due to be released in April 2016, should be on the 'to read' list of those who find the struggle of fighting the 'enemy within' of interest. For me, reading A Beckoning War was reminiscent of Joseph Conrad's Lord Jim in this respect: a lone man who must deal with the consequences, seen and unseen of his actions. While it has WWII as the background, it could easily be a different war, or a lucrative job a long distance away, causing a separation of two persons in a relationship, leading to various challenges and life changes.

Baraka Books has what I consider a genuine winner on their hands with A Beckoning War and I sincerely hope this novel (and the author) receive the national recognition they deserve.
