Sheepdogs: Keeping the Wolves at Bay

A Gil Mason Novel, Book 1

De: Gordon Carroll

Narrado por: Steven Heumann

My fingers traced the indented letters of the silver WWJD bracelet on my right wrist. I do that when I'm considering pummeling someone.

Gil Mason is a simple guy with complex problems. Cross Phillip Marlow with Caesar Milan, The Dog Whisperer, and you create a new breed of private eye, complete with the courage of a pit bull, and the heart of a labrador.

Max, Gil's K9 partner, has a few problems of his own. It's a love-hate relationship. Part of Max wants to love his human master, while his alpha personality instinctively drives him to take control of the pack.

So how does a former cop turned PI find a missing teenage boy, who has been kidnapped by a corporate billionaire, while dealing with his own feelings of guilt and loneliness over the murder of his family, all while keeping his canine's homicidal tendencies in check? Brains, guns, and fists combined with an intimate understanding of dog psychology.

As long as Max doesn't eat him first.

Love you Max

Keeps you on the edge !!
Can’t wait to start his next one.
Max is a star

Lots of action

I really enjoyed the story, the guy who does the narration was interesting. sometimes he talked really fast when he got excited, it definitely kept my attention so he's growing on me.

excellent plot plan, many pla es to end, BUT twisted. Dog's POV appreciated.

Was told it is a "clean" book, but it is too graphic for middle schoolers and high school dog lovers.

Awesome Canine Action Novel

A great story about a man healing from life and his dog pack--Max is superb, and Pilgrim is a great dog, too! The author gives us too perspectives--Gil, the human Alpha in the equation, and Max, the Belgian Shepherd who has aspirations of leading the pack one day... Together, they, along with Pilgrim, make a great PI Team, ready to serve to the death! Looking forward to hearing the next in the series!!

Beautiful story of man and dog saving each other

Loved Gil's and Max's back story and how a broken and strong-willed man and an equally strong-willed dog come together as a pack.

One of the best books ever!

Everything about this book was fabulous! Love this author and would love to hear more of his writings. The reader is also one of the best.

Wish it had a different Narrator

Good story, great dogs. I love when the author tells story thorough the dogs eyes, if the author really knows dogs. Really had a hard time finishing the book because of the narrator. Some people seem to like him, but I found him Very annoying, Every other comment is a secret, snide laugh. Don't know if I will follow the series if the narrator stays the same, at my age have hard time seeing to read anymore.

Awesome story

Good clean with lots of action!! Bad guys zero good guys and canines 100!!ive read this book 2x and now listened 2x and still get upset when the bad guys seem to be winning!!! Laugh cry yell scream.

Max's story

I liked when Max was thinking about his past life before Gil saved him by killing the bear.

GREAT New Friend to follow

Enjoy getting to know Gil and Max. Great story leaving you wanting to keep up on their life. Enjoying the series it is nice to get to grow and know them. Great insight into the world of trained dogs.
