King of Dogs

Life Is the Training Ground for Death

De: Andrew Edwards

Narrado por: Andrew Edwards

As a Soviet-style collapse unfolds in America, Grayson, equal parts philosopher and warrior but legitimately neither, makes a death-bed promise to watch over a couple with a child on the way.

Driven by his own severe loss, he must make good on his promise and carry the psychic consequences as he races headlong into the fallout of our imploding civilization.

Set in the hallucinatory desert southwest, populated with hunter-killer teams, and awash with refugees, third-country mercenaries, and hostile, conspiring elites, King of Dogs pits the beauty of language and Western philosophical ideals against the deep depravity and violent decay of our times.

Andrew Edwards was born and raised in Portland, Oregon. He currently lives in Montana with his girlfriend and dog. In addition to writing novels, short nonfiction, and stories, he has worked as a survival instructor, ranch hand, tradesman, and professional driver. You can follow Andrew’s ongoing projects, written and other, at goldengoatguild.net.

Deserves More Recognition

An excellent book which deserves more recognition. My suggestion is to read it before listening to it though.

I am grateful that Audible recommended this title to Me

KODs is the best bleeding-edge fiction novel I’ve listened to. Listening to Edwards read his own work is like listening to poetry. In a genre typically lacking artful prose & literary prowess, Edwards ups the ante. This novel makes me want to go to Moab or slink around another desert town at night.

The themes, setting, & plot in KODs will wring the hearts of true Americans for at least a few reasons but mostly because it is a Western. If you’re one of our “type of American” you’d do well to buy hard copies of this one and make your son read it when he’s in 7th grade. I would be proud to have a son like Grayson.

“Treachery is no small offense.”

Thought provoking

Fantastic story that is frightening because of the relevance yet moving and inspirational. I believe it will stick with me for a while.

Riveting Storytelling

You will not be disappointed by King of Dogs. A fantastic setting, intriguing characters, and great storyline.

Great book

It was a great story of dedication and vengeance. Unfortunately, probably prophetic as well. This is definitely worth a listen.
