“Narrator Tom Stechschulte offers a firm reading that relates the novel’s events in a realistic and entertaining manner. He portrays Converse as a terse, hard-nosed character who still manages to be likable. Stechschulte’s delivery is remarkably solid throughout. His characters’ voices adjust accordingly as they journey through the plot. A gripping performance, to say the least.”

“Harrowing…white-knuckled suspense…A here-and-now journey to hell.”

“A dark decendant of Conrad and Hemingway’s adventure stories…Goes hell-for-leather across the landscape.”

“Compulsively readable…As forcefully as any novel one can think of, this novel conveys the cynicism, the terror, and the appetite for new experiences that have marked recent years.”

“Dog Soldiers is a novel so good, so interesting and serious and funny and frightening, so absorbing, so impressive, so masterful…It is splendid, terrific action suspense.”

“Powerful, literally chilling.”

“Stone’s Dog Soldiers became a seminal text for disaffected youth
across the country but especially those returning home from war only to find
themselves out of step, ostracized, or just wondering what the hell had
happened—a generation of young men, drafted and armed, who came to recognize
just how little anyone in power cared about the value or quality of their
lives.”

“The language is stripped and strong…[with] unerring dialogue and characterization.”
