Resumen del Editor

A dog’s love is unconditional.

But can a dog love a monster?

Quigley is a jolly, shaggy dog living in the remote mountain village of Sparrowdale, Colorado. Life for the mop-haired Komondor and Gavin, his beloved human companion, is nothing short of perfect.

But one evening, during Quigley and Gavin’s playful stroll around the neighborhood, a spontaneous plague strikes Sparrowdale’s population. Its impact on the small mountain town is apocalyptic.

Helpless, Quigley witnesses Gavin’s sudden transformation from a loving, dutiful friend into a growling, blood-thirsty beast, single-minded in his pursuit of human flesh. His companion has become an angry-hungry, one among thousands of the infected creatures now hunting and rampaging throughout Sparrowdale.

Horrified by Gavin’s unexplained metamorphosis, Quigley remains tethered to his human, bound by love, loyalty, and leash. But when Gavin begins to prowl the streets for victims to consume and infect, the dog faces a heart-wrenching dilemma.

Compelled by his instinctive urge to protect those in need, Quigley must decide whether to stay by Gavin’s side or confront his fiendish companion. Will the dog’s undying devotion to his caregiver endure even as the undead predator unleashes his raging hunger upon the innocent?

Fantastic book seen through the eyes of a dog

I loved this story. I’m a dog lover, and let me tell you, the narrator sounds like a dog. I know that sounds strange, but I had to listen to a preview before buying, it to make sure he did. The story was so great. I’m definitely looking into the rest of the series. I enjoyed the characters and the context was great. Well done Nic. You made a fan.

First time book from Nic Roads I’ve read and…

Wow! As a dog lover myself with a very large Golden doodle named Luke that shared features like shaggy long hair and large build, I was surely impressed. I have a daughter who’s been going through chemotherapy for an inoperable brain tumor/cancer for the last 10 years, about a year after she was diagnosed at 6 she chose a dog for her Make a wish. So she was granted a trip to Disney and upon returning a gorgeous 10 pound puppy named Luke who’s done everything from eat her homework to build a home in each of our hearts. Now my 5 children, after 9 full years still smile when coming home and seeing that shaggy haired member of the family. To listen to a book from the perspective of a dog is refreshing and heart warming. Me and my daughter love listening to zombie books on the way to hospitals for therapy, to have a book with both of our loves in it, made our day! What a awesome book!
