There’s a bad guy (shooter, bomber, dognapper, hoody-wearer) loose on a army base. We follow a few low-life officers claiming to want to catch him yet their efforts are incredibly minimal and ineffective. (Sadly, even the dogs ignore their duties). As listeners, we’re drowned in romantic syrup. A reporter and her protector benefit from the threat as they indulge in puppy love and we get aural diabetes.
This is a tweenager’s comic book love story and thriller in audible form. It can be a fun listen if you make big allowances. The two common issues appear: short-bus morons become adults, are somehow given important jobs and maintain the sexual naïveté of 12 year olds. You’ll have to enjoy hearing teen angst like a dog likes sniffing poop. You’ll have to accept that our military can identify and stop criminal threats like IDF protects civilians.
