Pup

By: Christopher Slater

Narrated by: Brian Hutchison

This is not the story of a hero. So begins the story of one of the most distinctive heroes you'll ever meet. Drafted into a war he barely comprehends with no taste for combat, Pup will find himself thrust into the very center of the conflict. How he affects that conflict, and how this changes him and everyone around him, is the soul of this utterly unique war story.

I loved how I felt like I was literally in the story. There were times when I thought I was walking around the camp and at the battlegrounds. This book is very well put together and very detailed. Great job Chris!

Big pleasure to listen

Laugh out loud funny

narrated with perfect timing. Shows even the most improbable can be heroes. highly recommend

Please write more of these books!

A great story, I already miss each character. Amazing work by the voice actor

I hope the true heroes don't hate me!

Prepare for a light, fun listen about a down on his luck, pessimistic soldier on his first tour in Korea. The inferiority complex causes him to make stupid mistakes, making him appear to others as a bumbling “cherry”. They called him Pup. His self-effacing demeanor and humor were honest and polite. The story chronicles this mild-mannered man coming to terms with the camaraderie, panic, and horror of war. It’s a wonderful story. At times you laugh, at others, you contemplate what Pup is going through, and sympathize. The addition of Mayumi is a bright light in the darkness and pain of war. The characters are amazing, all of them likable. The narration by Brian Hutchison is spot on. Highly recommend.
