About this listen

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

The story is too short and lacks depth. It needs more development and pacing to allow the narrative to breathe. Additionally, the ending felt rushed and could benefit from more elaboration.

Fantastic storytelling, from the writing to the performance. I'm a huge fan of Mr Brooks and his father.

hmmmmm

It's funny when a nation regularly commits heinous acts (specifically to their own citizens) and then get upset that they are being judged or punished for those acts because they've managed to do a few good things. Interesting.

3.5 stars

Straight up Gold

My only issue is that the book is too short, I mean the story is like perfect. But I would love to know more about the universe that this takes place in…. Maybe I’ll just wait a couple years.
