Seven-Centuries, Seven-Heirs. If one holds the world's knowledge, then one can shape its reality.A unique perspective on history and time, SkyView draws readers into a seven-hundred-year struggle between good and evil. Eight family lines are on a quest to discover and control the family's centuries-old accumulation of wealth. William Ward, the twenty-first century heir to this wealth, is tasked with destroying the leader and heir of the evil line and ending the malice that has been thrust upon the world.
Guided by his uncle and protected by the six others with claims to the fortune, he embarks on a geographical and historical journey that reveals secrets, manipulations, and unbelievable connections. From the vantage point of SkyView, a jet with an Augmented Reality window and the capacity to digitally project history onto the landscape as it happened, William and his team desperately try to follow the fortune.

A brilliant combination of science fiction, historical fiction, action and adventure, and mystery, SkyView is a unique reading experience that will keep readers turning the pages.

Review

"Tolkien-like... comprehensively thought out... a wealth of intriguing ideas... An ambitious SF mystery..." Kirkus Reviews"This book is for fans of Tolkien, Dune, and The Da Vinci Code." "Lewis or Tolkienesque world-building""This was a very great read with sentiments of Lord of the Rings and Hunger Games" "combination of Cloud Atlas and Harry Potter" "If you like Tolkien then you'll like this book" "If you love The Hobbit (and The Lord of the Rings), then you will love SkyView" "Another great Tolkien-esque book about the battle between good and evil" "I highly recommend this book to the people that love The Hobbit or The Da Vinci Code."5 Stars " The story is cleverly plotted and the author's handling of character is expertly done. SkyView: Lord of the Wills features great writing and M Sheehan's terrific descriptions. The story is fast-paced and punctuated with action and intriguing scenes. A well-thought-out and brilliantly written page-turner." Readers Favorite 5 Stars "This is a breathtaking adventure with history, business culture, and fascinating technology. The characters are rock-solid and I adored the young protagonist. William Ward is intelligent and driven. His companions are also exceptionally developed characters. Parts, where they use a rare technology in the jet to project history on the landscapes, were very interesting. The writing is excellent and from the onset, I enjoyed the deft use of dialogues, which the author uses to bring life to the narrative. SkyView: Lord of the Wills has a strong premise and the conflict is introduced in the first paragraphs. From then on, the plot becomes more sophisticated as one turns from page to page. M Sheehan's novel is well-imagined and skillfully written, an engrossing read." Readers Favorite

How would you feel if you woke up one day to learn that you are the heir of a vast fortune accumulated through seven centuries and that you have to fight pure evil to keep it? This is exactly what happened to William Ward. He works for the Interlaken Beer Company, and has been doing so for over a year when he discovers that he is the descendant of William Ward, an English man who, in 1318, founded the company together with other seven men from different origins. Some years after that, William Ward I mysteriously sold his part of the company and was found dead the following day. The 21st century William also finds out, from his reluctant father, that all of William’s descendants are bound to receive a letter which entrust them with the task of finding his fortune, and it is up to them to accept the challenge or not. In this way, William embarks on a journey that will change his life and all he knows about history and reality forever.
It is said that everything is written and good writers stand out when they can take those topics and reshape them to capture readers imagination to the point they feel they are reading something completely new. In “Skyview. Lord of the Wills” its author, M. Sheehan, has retelled the eternal war between good and evil in an original, imaginative and riveting way.
Although the plot is complex and relates historical events that span over seven hundread years, the author has managed to keep the narrative straightforward making it very easy to follow. I also welcomed the inclusion of science fiction elements that enrich the novel.
I think that the main focus of attention in this work is the development of the characters which is exceptionally well done. The author has drawn multiple convincing characters, each of them with their own personalitites and physical characteristics. He also included, at the beginning of the book, the genealogy of the eight family lines that appear in the story helping the reader not to get lost with names and events.
This is a wonderful book that, I am sure, will fascinate readers. I highly recommend it.

This is a rollercoaster read! My favourite type of books are the ones which mix history facts and adventure, so when I saw this novel I knew that this one would be the perfect partner in this quarantine period. The blurb was superb because it immerses you in the story. “SkyView: Lord of the Wills” is a stunning book written by M. Sheehan.

This book is about William Ward, who works in The Interlaken Beer Company. At a party for its seven hundred years of foundation, there is a short film about the history of the company, and there William sees something that catches his attention. His name is on the screen. So did his family form part of the company when it started in the year 1318? When he sees William’s I portrait, he realizes that he shares the name and appearance. Also, he remembers that he has seen all those portraits in the boardroom, but William’s I photo wasn’t there. Immediately, he starts to feel a connection and this is the moment when his life began to change. Family history sometimes isn’t easy as it seems, it carries on a heavy weight.

This book is divided into twenty chapters. Each part is more exciting than the last one, but if I have to choose one I would say that my favourite is the last one because events take a different turn. Another bit I really liked about this novel is the character’s reference at the beginning, which was really helpful for me. Every time I got lost with the names, I went back to it and checked the family’s line.

All in all, I kept finding myself thinking about the story throughout the day. I was completely immersed in each section of the book. I certainly enjoyed it from beginning to end. It was fan fiction at its finest. I thoroughly recommend it. It is certainly at the top of my list. Don’t miss it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Set foot on an incredible story

Imagine that you work for a prestigious, legendary, 700-years-old company. Now, imagine that in the 700-years anniversary party of the company you work for, you discover that someone that carries your same last name was once the co-founder of that company. Imagine that for some reason, your family acts particularly strange when you ask about your heritage and ancestors. This is just the beginning in this mysterious historical novel.
The story is set in today’s world, but contains intricate and disturbing details of a dim and distant past. A thirst for knowledge and an insatiable quest for the truth is what keeps the main characters in this story going and makes them overcome all the obstacles that come their way.
The first-time writer named Murray Sheehan is the person behind this book. Sheehan writes in an exquisite, ingenious form. His flamboyant style is unique. He combines the use of short and long sentences together with a wonderful and playful exploitation of punctuation, which stimulates a growing, unquenchable desire to keep on reading.
The writer was clever enough to include the family trees corresponding to the main characters of the story. These come as a useful tool for many readers, since the trees help visualise, follow and understand the narration in a better way.
I enjoyed the vivid descriptions of the settings: I could actually imagine the Californian sunsets, among other landscapes that the author portrayed. I also loved the simple use of the language and the gentle humor that can be found in the dialogues of the novel.
If you are able to read between the lines, this story is about family secrets and about the necessity to know where we come from.
I recommend this book because the twist and turns and the unexpected family ties kept me at the edge of my seat throughout the 20 chapters that this book contains.

Action packed, a thoroughly enjoyable read. Well written in the historical fiction/fantasy genre, the author draws you into a journey of adventure, mystery and intrigue spanning seven hundred years. The battle between good and evil is an overarching theme, as feuding bloodlines, the Wards and the Alevero's, battle over supremacy in a shadow world and the ultimate prize, a massive fortune sealed in a cryptic Will. The author displays immense creativity and imagination through the interplay of complex events and unique characters through the sweep of history. I highly recommend this book.

I’m seriously impressed with the authors imagination. Skyview, Neveah and Truth are Bondesque, while the way the story flips through the centuries and the number of characters involved is comparable with The Lord of The Rings.
I would highly recommend this book and look forward to the next book by this author.
