About the author
Sean M. Campbell
28 books11 followersSean M. Campbell was born in Southern California. His interest in reading and writing started at an early age. He always found himself thinking, "How would I write that differently."
He attempted to write his first novel length work when he was in high school, but always felt his writing was not good enough for others to read. He continued to write the occasional story for himself or family members, but never even attempted to get any of them published.
At the age of 47, someone convinced him to post a story on a website and get some unbiased opinions on his work. Within days of posting the first chapter he was contacted by the publisher, Abby Adams, and asked if they could publish his first novel, "The Return".

The character and world development of this story is wonderful. Great action and I loved the way the author time-jumps from the present (story-time) to the past (again, story-time). The progression from soldier recruit to Commanding General (and beyond) is interesting and thrilling.
I thought at the time that it needed to be available on a for-pay site. In looking for a different book by Mr. Campbell, I found this book. And I'm so glad it's available for others to read and learn about this author!
I found this story on an independent free site and collected all 11 chapters, one at a time.
I read this story from that free site and I am giving an honest and unsolicited review. I give this story 5 stars!

Enjoyed this story
The story was a pleasure to read. The author gave my imagination such a thrill ride that I felt almost exhausted by the end of the story. Well done!
