The novel has garnered critical acclaim, with Michael Punke, #1 New York Times bestselling author of 'The Revenant', calling it "a compelling and complex story of World War II." The story follows Aaron Vanko, an innocent Iowa farm boy, who faces the harrowing decision to take another's life in the name of duty. Just as he prepares for this mission, he learns of his Jewish heritage, shattering his identity and his relationship with the love of his life. Despite his fears, Aaron moves ahead, fueled by duty and patriotism, but now he must wage war on two fronts: battling the enemy who seeks to eradicate the Jewish race and the ethical dilemma raging within his own soul.
Readers and reviewers have praised the book. USA Today bestselling author Holly Roberts called 'Aaron's War' "A coming of age story that grips your soul and takes you on a thought-provoking journey." Tom Porter, author of 'All I Need To Know About Business I Learned From A Duck', stated, "An engaging, informative and thought-provoking tale of survival, love and faith.

McMaster's other works include 'The Attic', which achieved bestseller status in contemporary fiction and psychological thrillers. The novel tells the story of Byron Kelly, who becomes a whistleblower on the run from the FBI and hides in the attic of a dying old man. Fans of psychological thrillers will find themselves captivated by the book as McMaster combines heart-pounding suspense with beautifully crafted characters. One reviewer said, "Absolutely loved this book. I don't want to give anything away, but this was the best book I have read in a long time. Haven't done anything else for the last 24 hours. Just wonderful!"
In a story about McMaster printed by The Hudson Weekly, Dennis Keller said, "Richard McMaster is an accomplished author whose works have been praised for their depth, complexity, and emotional resonance." Keller continued, "Richard McMaster never falls into the trap of presenting his characters as simplistic archetypes or caricatures, instead allowing them to emerge as fully formed individuals with their unique voices and perspectives. In addition to his skillful characterization, he is also a master of plot and pacing... The author's writing is often described as 'page-turning' or 'gripping,' but it is also imbued with a sense of thoughtfulness and depth that elevates his work beyond mere genre fiction."
McMaster's 'Voyage Of Life' is an exploration of overcoming obstacles that leaves readers deeply moved and inspired. It is a must-read for anyone seeking an inspirational journey through the lens of the "Baby Boomer" generation. He is also the author of 'A Love Divided By Time', described as "one part The Notebook, one part suspenseful psychopath story, and one part Somewhere in Time."
