That Others May Live

F.B.I. K-9, Book 8

By: Sara Driscoll

Narrated by: Susan Bennett

The stakes are higher than ever before as FBI handler Meg Jennings and her K-9 partner, Hawk, race to find survivors after a building collapses in Sara Driscoll's gripping, timely new mystery featuring a K-9 search-and-rescue unit in Washington, D.C. For friends of harder-edged crime fiction by authors like Melinda Leigh, Kendra Elliot, Iris Johansen, and Robert Krais.

There are situations that fill even the most seasoned FBI K-9 handlers with shock and horror. Meg Jennings is preparing for another workday when she gets word of a catastrophic scene in downtown Washington, D.C. Part of a twelve-story condo building has collapsed, and the rest of the structure could soon follow. Every search-and-rescue worker and K-9 team is needed on-site immediately to find survivors—and assess the casualties.

Putting aside her fears for her firefighter fiancé, who's already inside the unstable building, Meg turns to the task at hand. If anyone is still alive within the rubble, she and Hawk, working alongside other K-9 teams, must find them. Every hour, every moment counts—and a wrong move could trigger a deadly chain reaction for those buried beneath. But beyond the present danger is a deeper threat, as evidence indicates that this wasn't a random tragedy, but an act of domestic terrorism. And identifying the culprit and the motivation, in time to stop another attack, means taking on an enemy with terrifying skills—and nothing left to lose.

Yet another ballpark home run

Sara amazes yet again as she brings these much beloved characters to life. I love the tidbits that each chapter brings as a way of educating me as we’re navigated through the story.

Another fine tale in the series

Every tale of Hawk, Meg, and their friends just gets better. I loved the first one and haven’t been disappointed. The suspense and love of animals has been sustained once again and if I had a tail like Hawk it would be wagging furiously with anticipation for the next novel.

Great Story and Details

Poor choice in readers. Monotone and boring reader. Character Kara is just irritating. Otherwise great accurate story.

Well researched, great chapter in FBI canine. looking forward to the next!

Great storyline, well researched... makes you think about how much first responders risk every single day.

Tragedy as we all know it.

At first I was thrown back, as I was listening. Tragedy like 911 and The Towers in Florida. The death and destruction, as we were glued to our television sets.
This book was written in that fashion.
Then in the spirit were the author comes in with the FBI teams and reporter.
The who, what and why come out.
With a feel good ending and Christmas.
I made it through this series and really enjoyed her writing. There is another book to purchase. Probably a case and the wedding, which I will listen to with Audible.
Good book, but sad.

Starts slow, like a narration, but worth it!

Starts like a narrative with details and background, so much so you wonder if you can get into this book. A few hours in, the action starts and you will be in tears. You really do need the background to understand what is going on and how hard the search is, how devastating the disaster is, the loss and suffering. It will help you understand how hard these events are on first responders.

More technical than I would have liked

This book is a lot about what the first responders go through in a catastrophic disaster. It seemed real to me though a first responder may disagree. There were some really slow parts but once they had an idea of the perpetrators it got more interesting.

This story was well researched and well written

I’ve enjoyed every book in this series. These books are different from the usual detective or crime stories and the K-9 aspect is always so interesting. Sara Driscoll does not disappoint. I hope there will be more books in this series.

heart wrenching story

These words are always intriguing with you from the beginning, you can’t settle down or turn them off and even though they’re about very difficult subjects they always end in a nice way realistically but you don’t come back from putting the book down, feeling bad you always feel lifted up

More depression then adventure

This story started off very serious, and that is just fine but I feel that there was 3/4th depression and 1/4th adventure and relationships.
If I didn’t love the previous books so much, I would have stopped listening and returned the book.
