About this listen
A fascinating and darkly funny novel giving listeners front-row access to the world of EMS and other first responders — and the stink, sweat, and sex that accompanies long days caring for others at their most vulnerable.
Following in the footsteps of their beloved Boston cop father, Alex Flynn trains as an EMT, and spends years chasing emergencies in an ambulance. But the person Alex becomes is a far cry from the hero they signed up to be.
Over four decades in public safety, Alex encounters a changing America, where veterans are left to rot on streets, women are welcome in dangerous fields but abusers still walk free, and service providers are subjected to intense public scrutiny while being denied the resources they need. After moving from bustling Boston to small town Vermont, Alex discovers an escalating feud between emergency operators and must decide which to protect: their community, or their legacy.
©2024 I.M. Aiken (P)2024 Flare BooksFollowing Alex Flynn’s journey from Boston’s chaotic streets to small-town Vermont, Aiken captures something rare: the complex, messy humanity of first responders. The book doesn’t flinch from hard truths — from trauma to inter-agency rivalries to moral dilemmas that come without clean answers. Yet it’s never hopeless. It’s full of grit, heart, and moments that made me laugh out loud or tear up unexpectedly.
If you’re in EMS, fire, police, or just love someone who is, this book will feel like a conversation you’ve had at 3 a.m. after a hard call. And if you’re not — it’s the perfect way to understand the real cost of service, and why so many still show up anyway.
Highly recommended for fans of literary fiction with edge, purpose, and truth.
