"An amazing page-turner. Roger Conlee spins a gripping story of two alternative timelines running side-by-side. Enough ideas are crammed into Counterclockwise for several books, but somehow the story never gets crowded, or rushed, or confusing. Against all odds, he has managed to weave all of these disparate elements into a single seamless plot. The result is a great read, and the stuff of pure human adventure. "

- Jeff Edwards, author of the military thriller, Torpedo

With vivid panoramas of wartime life in Los Angeles and a light dusting of science fiction, Roger Conlee's latest offering is a highly involving read that's practically impossible to put down before the last page is turned.

Sterling (Kansas) Bulletin

This unconventional book-within-a-book is an absorbing combination of genres that never fails to surprise and intrigue as each layer is peeled back.

Walter Haskins

"There are few war novels that rise to this level of expertise ... This is a page turner; you will not want to put it down until you have finished the book even if it is well past your bedtime. There have been few really good books written about the heroics of WWII and now you can add this one to that list. It is that good!"

- Military Writers Society of America

Places the reader on the front lines, taking cover in muddy foxholes, suffering with malaria, and facing a fanatical Japanese adversary ... demonstrates an understanding of tactics and weaponry.

The constant stress and fear in Every Shape, Every Shadow should resonate with readers when they consider these same pressures facing Americans deployed in Iraq or Afghanistan.

--Marine Corps Gazette

Every Shape, Every Shadow is a must-read for veterans, particularly those of the Marine Corps and Army infantry, who will recall the sights, sounds and horror of face-to-face combat.

Conlee's character development and style--taking us from his protagonist to other characters of historical significance in rapid succession, chapter by chapter--keeps us turning the pages. Very quickly.
