This was an emotional book. Keep your kleenex handy. My heart broke for these characters. There is trauma, loss, betrayal, hope and birth. The book was well written. The execution of narration by David Allen Vargo was mind- blowing. The conviction of emotions shows the level of his talents as a trained actor. He was..

The narration performance by David Allen Vargo is amazingly good in this full effect audio script (with sound effects) of this intriguing Civil War history novel with a touch of paranormal or syfy. The historical research structuring this ghosts & time travel tale is flawless.

I went into this book not entirely sure what to expect as a Civil War buff. History meets ghost story…..and a great one at that! I was taken into the storyline within minutes. The research and knowledge into the war is spot on but the story-telling was intriguingly good. Just enough graphic detail to capture..
Rick R Reed writes “Silence of the Missing” with a gothic-like atmosphere, infusing this romantic mystery/suspense tale in a spooky, other-worldly foreboding. David Allen Vargo delivers a wonderful performance as narrator. The production value is top-notch. The book has plot holes, implausibilities, and unanswered questions that I couldn’t quite look past. This is probably just..
