Publisher's summary

Devon Muir has always been fascinated with the Civil War. When he discovers that his fourth great-grandfather fought at pivotal battles like Antietam and Gettysburg, he is compelled to follow in his ancestor's footsteps and experience the battlefields on his own. What he doesn't count on is dreaming about a battle every night - and being killed every time. Now his exploration of battlefields becomes a different kind of quest as he struggles to understand who is the soldier he becomes in his dream, and who is the woman whose face he sees as he lays dying.

I wish the dog was more important ;)

I love it.

This is a fun little read. It is short but manages to captivate and provide closure, which is impressive. It is a simple read, there are very few cast and only really one and a half storyline to keep track of. There is a HUGE difference to other books by Bowersock, in that this isn't timetravel, per se - which means this isn't one of the "causality loop" stories I both love and loathe.

I love the idea of a “temporal echo” that manifests as dreams and starts having a profound effect on the protagonist. This listen is as much a detective story as it is a love story – set in the past as much as in the present. The plot continues to thicken and deepen - and it is almost impossible not to spoil anything when diving into what happens. Suffice to say, the book is studded with more than meets the eye – and the protagonist faces some really hard experiences and choices.

Waters once again proves his superior consistency. The listen isn’t long – and yet it is easy to get drawn in. I found the mystery of the plot well represented. I did feel the personal “split” could have been deeper in the sense that it didn’t seem too emotionally invested – but all said, I really enjoy the listen.


I listened to this one “on autopilot” and it took me a while to realize that this was not a story in the same series as “Finding Travis” and “being Travis” by the same author and narrator – which perhaps isn’t too strange, given that the theme is similar, and the cast are voiced by the same narrator with similar roles.

History repeats itself

The Field Where I Died by Melissa Bowersock is a story where history meets the present. Its a very interesting and engaging story that I really enjoyed. I’ve visited the Antietam, Gettysburg and other Civil War battlefields and the story and settings were realistic. The performance by narrator Jonathan Waters is great, bringing the story to life. I recommend this book!

a captivating story that most will enjoy

I like genealogy too, so this historical fiction was something I could really get in to. Real places and events were the focus of this story and adding in a bit of metaphysical mystery and you have a very engaging story. It was hard to put down and took only 2 days to complete. I would recommend.

Good Story!💜

I have enjoyed some stories by this author and this was a good story but not my favorite. No specific reason, it just didn’t grab me like the others.
The narration was very good!
This is a standalone with an HEA.
