Publisher's summary

More than three million acres of dense woodlands make up the North Maine Woods. There are no major towns. No public roads. Nothing but forest for as far as the eye can see.

When two marines and their corpsman reunite after a decade apart, they find themselves caught up in the mystery of their former squad leader’s disappearance. With little more to go on than a handful of disturbing charcoal sketches and the whispers of a local legend, they plunge into the depths of one of America’s last truly wild places.

But the trees themselves begin to whisper dark secrets. Secrets of trafficking and violence. Of rotten science and blood. Of something else that lurks in the shadows of the pines—something ancient, savage, and hungry.

Excellent Audio Book!

A story set in the Wild. The story sucks you in, and you’ll find yourself rooting for the good guys. Don’t want any part of these woods.

Excellent Mystery.

Good lil read

Good book interesting enough plot and lots of good suspense. The pace was pretty good up until the end too were it good a little rushed. Also a few times the narrator could be hard to follow as sometimes he picked the same voice for two characters making it harder to tell who was speaking at some points.

Just Read It

Honestly this book and author has just become my new favorite. I was skeptical at first due to the lack of reviews but decided to read it anyway. I’m so glad I did because this book is amazing. It’s so well rounded and it really draws you in. Most definitely going to be binging all Douglass Hoover’s books.

Slow and steady.

great story! I won't spoil it, but it takes a minute to pick up, very intimate and descriptive. it keeps you wondering what's going to happen next so it's a great listen when going on a hike.

not what you expect

As I listened to this book, I'm a Maine native by the way, I hated it. However the end made me realize it wasn't written for my entertainment. Hats off to the author!! I recommend this book to everyone. Especially to those who need some hope. Listen, the end is the best!! Thank you to our armed forces you're not forgotten. Ever!

I Only Wish it was Longer

This is one of the most enjoyable audiobooks I've found, and maybe the only one I've listened to in one sitting.
