This kindle book that I won in a giveaway is a very interesting World War I story. The interesting thing is that it isn't your typical World War I story. This happena to be a very slightly supernatural retelling of the war. It is considered to be based off of HG Wells' War of the World book and takes place after the events of that book. I will admit this was slighly different from what I am used to reading it ended up being very interesting and creative.
