About this listen
Only a dog's fierce courage can save a man...
Only a man's true calling can save a dog.
The epic adventure of a lifetime. Be prepared to be swept away by J. R. Rain’s thrilling novel of redemption, self-discovery, and powerful love.
Dr. Shaye Fox has lost almost everyone and everything he loved, including his wife. Once a successful dentist with a passion for healing, he’s been stripped of his career, his self-esteem, and his reason for living.
His life is a mess until one rainy night when Shaye finds a big white dog in the road. A dog in critical condition. A dog with a horrific secret.
In his race to save the dog’s life, Shaye takes matters into his own hands. And when Shaye discovers that his dog companion is thousands of miles from home, it becomes his personal mission to return the dog to his rightful owners. All Shaye knows of War Daddy’s origins is that he comes from a small, forgotten Northern African kingdom on the edge of the vast Sahara desert.
Their journey of thousands of miles is just the beginning. When Shaye becomes a stranger in a strange land, his earnest intentions evolve into an inner quest to live a life of purpose and meaning. And if Shaye ever finds true love, that, too, would be a miracle. He just has to stay one step ahead of War Daddy’s enemies.
From the mountains of California to the scorching, rolling sand dunes of the mighty Sahara, this epic adventure of a troubled man and a stolen dog is sure to touch anyone with a love for animals and a hunger for new beginnings.
For fans of Richard Paul Evans and Paulo Coelho. Lawrence of Arabia meets A Dog's Purpose. For anyone who dreams of more, All the Way Back Home is a stand-alone, inspiring adventure with a lot of heart, laughs...and drool!

Story
It's tough being the King. Which is why in 1977 Elvis faked his own death and endured massive facial reconstruction surgery, and disappeared from the limelight to live a normal life as the unassuming Aaron King. Unfortunately, leaving fame behind also meant leaving his fortune behind, too, and now Elvis finds himself broke and living in near poverty in a small apartment in Los Angeles. Luckily for him, it turns out he's a pretty good private investigator.

In the beginning, the gods destroyed the world. Five hundred years later, things haven’t gotten much better for humans. The demigods that were left behind to guard over humanity have been using them as fodder for an endless civil war between themselves, and the humans just go on dutifully slaughtering each other, battle after battle. It’s not all bad, though. Perry McGown makes his living off those bloody, stinking battlefields. He works on a crew that reclaims all the spent shell casings. But if anyone found out that he was a deserter from the war, he’d be executed for heresy.

Story
For generations, a sentient AI watched over the world, solving all of humanity’s problems. It was an era of objectivity, social equality, and ecological recovery. It should have been a golden age. Now, three strangers are on a pilgrimage through the arid, lonely sagelands and underpopulated cities of the Systemic era to the seemingly innocuous town of Prower. There, they'll uncover the secrets that lay buried beneath the town and learn the truth about their half-remembered pasts. In the end, they'll choose between their sanity or solving humanity’s final, most intractable problem.

The world is infested with demons, vampires, and ghosts who clash with wizards on the fringes of society. Faced with these horrors, there's only one thing a small-time wizard can do: absolutely nothing. Doing something could get a man killed. Armed only with a modern view of magic, a snarky bloodthirsty apprentice, and no concept of the phrase "fair fight", Maker is far too weak to try and change the world. But then a new group of warlocks moves into the area with the goal of making his life more interesting....

Very tender story
This may be the tenderest story I have read from this author. A health professional working very steadily trying to build a practice, loses his wife to her boss. Due to grief and sadness he becomes an alcoholic and (yikes) looses his license due to pulling the wrong teeth in 3 different patients. He is being sued by these patients and is dying inside day by day. His life is saved by a dog. The dog is a very special breed. The dog has been used as a drug mule and the drugs hav been cut out of his stomach.
The dog has bitten off the finger of the person who made him swallow the drugs. The dental skills are rusty, but he responds to the dog’s needs and repairs the stomach and skin. As the dog heals the washed up dentist falls in love with dog.
He follows the dog to his home in a near eastern desert country. Little by little the dentist heals. The process of healing is very unique. A deep spiritual healing takes place and the man finds his purpose and home.
Such a tender, exciting love story. A man wrote it! I am blown away by this writer. The same way I was blown away by “Bridges of Madison County”. Also written by a man. And so tender, man. Try this author. Read all his books and short stories. Such a treat. Such fun. You wont regret it.

Heartwarming thriller
I love JR Rains’ vampire stories. Except for the authentic feel of characters and story, this book is very different. I was engrossed with this story about a man and a dog who travel together from the mountains of California to the dunes of East Sahara. I recommend the novel book for anyone who loves adventure, cabins in the mountains, exotic foreign locales, and a fabulous dog. Fast paced and wonderful narration.

I don't know how I came across this book, but I am thankful I did. I don't believe I have read any of this author's book. but that changes now. I love finding a new great author. Can't wait to read another of his books.
Also Alex Freeman did a great job narrating this story.
