A Short Story

By: Max Brooks

Narrated by: Greg Chun

When China invades America, guerrilla warfare explodes on the streets of Los Angeles in this provocative short story about the future of war from Max Brooks, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of World War Z.

China thought it would be a quick war, an easy war. But now, years later, as the insurgency on the streets of Los Angeles escalates but the propaganda never changes, a Chinese officer can’t keep silent any longer. Torn between loyalty to his country and loyalty to his troops, he writes a brutally honest—and possibly suicidal—letter home to unmask the truth.

Brooks combines his signature meticulous research with unforgettable characters in this landmark work of speculative fiction.

too short

just a fun listen could have used 8 more hours liked the format and max Brooks is solid

Awesome

I hope this turns into a full length novel. It was excellent work from Max as usual.

amazing

the perspective of the story and the honesty throughout the short but powerful narrative is amazing

Too Short but Great

Interesting tale of a soldier fighting his country’s wars. Another exemplary story from Max Brooks!

Fantastic! I want more.

Almost reads like guerilla warfighting manual, but from the enemies perspective. I want more. I'd easily listen to an expanded version. Make it letters from every perspective of the front. Letters home from American rebels fighting in LA, The Rockies, etc. Chinese Americans fighting back Smuggled letters out from civilians in the cross fire, new stories, etc.
