War Dogs

Heading Home

By: AJ Newman

Narrated by: Roger Wayne

When Jason Walker and his dog MMax are both badly injured in an IED explosion while serving in the European war in 2038, they are evacuated back to the United States for the chance to recuperate and heal.

But before the two can reach the relative safety of their designated VA hospital in Tennessee an EMP blast creates havoc and brings down their plane, leaving them alone and vulnerable amidst the chaos of a country that is on the verge of complete and utter social collapse.

Now the two must somehow find their way home, to a town where Jason's mother Jan continues to hold out hope of his survival and where the attractive but romantically distant Billie Johnson clings on in a fragile and dangerous existence with her 12-year-old son.

Jason and MMax certainly have the skills needed to survive in the hostile surroundings they now find themselves in, but in a world gone mad, where life clings on by a thread and people will kill for a few scraps of food, can they make it home alive? And if they can, will there be anything left to return to?

best story I've listened to in a long time

I don't usually leave reviews and definitely don't leave five stars but this is the best book I've listened to in a long time. Great story and performance looking forward to the next book in line.

pretty good.

a lot of solid humor in this. the characters are pretty well developed. seems realistic which is a plus. the main character is vary likeable and tough. nice guy too.

Ten slash 22????

I wish these voice preformers would get some technical advisors to correct their gun verbiage. A Ruger 10/22 is called a "ten twenty two". A 30-06 is called a "thirty odd six". It detracts from the authenticity of characters.

excellent pretty realistic story

collapse, the same expectation every time. it's the individual stories that matter. this is an excellent story of Survival and bathing together

Great story...

Once I got into it, I couldn't stop...the dogs point of view was awesome.
