The Gathering Storm: A Time to Serve, Book 2 Audible Audiobook – Unabridged

4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars 2,130 ratings

The Cooper family saga continues, as the world descends into war and devastation….

As WWII rages, paratrooper Clyde Cooper sets sail for Panama. Expecting to be reunited with his cousin, Shawn, Clyde instead arrives to find his patriotic cousin missing. The Army brass share only scant information regarding Shawn’s last known whereabouts. Is he a casualty of war? Or is the military purposefully covering up his fate?

Meanwhile, back at home, Abigail struggles to escape her overbearing father and visits an old friend in Texas who is a pilot for the Women’s Auxiliary Ferry Squadron (WAFS). Before joining herself, Abby returns home to tie up loose ends. But when her friend uncovers dangerous shortcuts at her father’s factory, Abby is swept into a different kind of fight.

And on the other side of the world Clyde’s brother Frank finds himself settling into the brutal life of a POW. Captured by the Japanese, each day is a bloody battle to survive. A battle that Frank is not sure he can fight much longer….

As the war burns on, Clyde and his loved ones must confront deception, death, and destruction. But when the smoke clears, what will be left of their family?

This epic WWII historical fiction series, told through the eyes of the different members of the Cooper family, follows the war through its conclusion.

An eye opening WWII tale following the separate lives of two brothers and a cousin plus the wive of one brother all doing what they can for the war effort. The story follows the facts of the real life war. Enjoyable read.

There is so many twist and turns sometimes it is hard to keep up. But it is impossible to put these books down. The characters are great especially the 3 kinsman who each have a different viewpoint. Abby is a prize she is so out there with everything she does and bull headed. Pick up book one today.

The writing is superb and makes you really care about the main and secondary characters. I love the different story lines and cannot wait to read the next book.

This book is such an amazing sequel to “The Gathering Storm”. Both books are extremely captivating and tell the historical events from a unique perspective. The only thing I disliked from this book, was the inclusion of infidelity within the military lifestyle. It is such an overused stereotype and I can’t stand it. Other than that inclusion of unnecessary drama, it really is a great read!

Great read but leave out the sex stuff. Takes away from a good story and adds nothing to the plot.

That said , I plan on reading the next one too.

This book was hard to put down, both from history recounted, detailed account of parachute training to graphic stories of the life of POWs and the tense life of soldiers fighting the Japanese. It meant I will work my way through the exciting series.

Characters were interesting. Plot was tension building. A good second book in the series. I want to find out how the plot resolves the unanswered questions. What more could you want from a book?

Any book by this author is a good read.
One problem I have , I have trouble putting the book down before finishing it. Looking forward to book three, and I hope more ( hint hint) on this story line.
