A Short Story

De: Max Brooks

Narrado por: Greg Chun

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

just a fun listen could have used 8 more hours liked the format and max Brooks is solid

Awesome

I hope this turns into a full length novel. It was excellent work from Max as usual.

amazing

the perspective of the story and the honesty throughout the short but powerful narrative is amazing

Too Short but Great

Interesting tale of a soldier fighting his country’s wars. Another exemplary story from Max Brooks!

Another audiobook with editing mistakes by Max Brooks

Max tells a good story. This one is told in the manner of World War Z but the protagonist is very different. Not bad for a short story. Once again the final audio master file has an editing mistake. Fortunately it is in the end credits unlike WWZ where it involved chapters of the narrative. Is no one actually checking these things? Worth a listen.

just so good

it's like a short story cross between band of brothers and world war z. I just happened to pick it up because I had a couple dollars on a coupon left and I really like the author. definitely not disappointed. highly recommend!

Excellent

Always been a fan of Max Brooks, having read his world war z a couple of times. I really hope he decides to make this into a longform novel.

Sooo good.

Is it political, yes? Will it make you mad? Not unless you’re down with the CCP. This is not only entertaining it’s thought provoking and therefore SCARY.

Great short story

I’m a fan of Max Brooks since reading WWZ. This was an excellent engaging tale that both emphasized the necessity of American unity while leaning in for the whole horrors of war from the “other” side.

Fantastic! I want more.

Almost reads like guerilla warfighting manual, but from the enemies perspective. I want more. I'd easily listen to an expanded version. Make it letters from every perspective of the front. Letters home from American rebels fighting in LA, The Rockies, etc. Chinese Americans fighting back Smuggled letters out from civilians in the cross fire, new stories, etc.
