About this listen

Just because helping out is the right thing to do doesn’t make it easy...

Pierce is on the hunt for Salem, a K9 military dog that belonged to Pete, a veteran, who can no longer look after himself or the dog. So, the dog has been handed from owner to owner, until she’s become too much to handle, and now, the law is involved. No one has Salem’s best interests in mind, and they definitely don’t have Pete’s, either. Pierce is about to change all that - whether they like it or not.

Hedi, a young deputy, has lived in Arrowhead, Colorado, all her life and knows Pete and Salem but was helpless to do much when greed overtook his friends and family. She recognizes in Pierce the same qualities that Pete has, and by Pierce’s actions alone, she knows a corner has been turned. She also understands the locals won’t take it lying down, and this means war.

Pierce served his country overseas for many years, and seeing another veteran in trouble makes him realize the fight isn’t over, even after life in the Navy ends. In fact, this battle has just begun. But, this one, Pierce will finish. And he plans to win.

Sounds like it is computer generated

If you can get past the voice, the story is very good. But I actually thought it might have been computer generated. It is awful.

Atrocious narration.

The story is very gripping but the narration is so stilted it might as well be read by a computer.

Horrible narration

Narration sounded like a computer was reading it. There was no voice inflection and no difference in voices. It was hard to tell from one person to the next who was speaking and the flow was often clipped. If this was a real person narrating, then he needs acting lessons. The story was well done, but the bad narration detracted from the story big time.

Not the authors best effort.

The book was fair but not what I’ve come expect from this author. The writing was weak and the narrator left a lot to be desired. I will listen to the next audio book and then decide if it’s worth continuing on with the series.

Narrator ruined a good story

I have been reading the books in this series and enjoy the stories. This narrator is horrible speaking in a monotone through the whole book. This is a mystery with action. I couldn’t wait to finish. It was torture. Ruined the book for me which is sad for the author. I have bought hundreds of books and love Audible. This was not good.

It's TRUE - This IS the worst narration ever heard

I liked the story, and if it had been narrated by ANYONE who had inflection in their voice, it would have been very interesting. But ... it's true! Although the pitch of the narrator's voice is pleasantly masculine, I'm thinking this might have been an experiment with a robot??? (Although Alexa and Siri sound more human ;-). The monotone was incredibly distracting. The author might want to think about pulling this presentation, and try a do-over. Ryan may be the nicest guy ever, but "voice acting" is not his calling.

great story. lousy narrator

As us Dale's story is wonderful. Unfortunately the narrator is awful. He doing most of the story in a flat monotone that is just painful. The book would be better enjoyed by reading it instead y listening to it. I loved Pierce's story in spite of the narrator but I wish it had been a bit longer.
