We all define ourselves in vastly different ways. For some, that way is through a life of adventure and action. As the French author André Gide once said, “It is only in adventure that some people succeed in knowing themselves – in finding themselves.” In author Colonel Don Wilson’s book Code Name: William Tell, one man discovers his calling in life through adventure in service to his country.
In this book, the author explores a covert operation surrounded by the actions of one man in particular, Bill Burrow, code name William Tell, who is discovered by a rising military historian to be involved in many key events over the course of several decades. The historian learns more about William Tell as a person and as the leader and operations man behind some truly spectacular events, as a secret cold war is fought around the world to protect and serve the United States and its interests.
This is a spectacular first book in a militaristic action saga. The author brings a sense of authenticity to the novel, as their own experiences translate into specific and accurate military terminology and expertise being employed into the narration and plot line itself of the story. The meticulous details and growing story of this secret history and how it mirrors many operations in the modern era of politics and governments around the world makes this a truly engaging read.
This is a book for anyone who enjoys military style, action-fueled novels that create new behind the scenes heroes and explore the fight between nations for power and control around the world. The authentic voice the author writes in makes the story that much more engaging, and creates a narrative that speaks to those who respect the men and women who have fought and given their lives to protect the United States, freedom for all and so much more than the average citizen could even begin to comprehend.
This is a fantastic, must read action-adventure novel. Truly one of a kind and written by an author who knows the real-life inspirations and work that the characters in this story have gone through, this is a brilliant book that delves into the fights going on in the shadows that no one ever hears about, and the fight to honor and preserve the nation so many lost their lives to protect. As the debut novel in a series, this is the perfect book for action-packed military enthusiasts to begin their journey along with William Tell in a world not commonly known to the general public.
