The Dog Master

Guiding listeners through three time periods and multiple early tribes of humans and wolf packs, narrator David Colacci keeps the momentum of the plot swift, the characters distinct, and the atmosphere rich. The tensions, anxieties, and frustrations of these early people and their canine counterparts are palpable in Colacci's boundless reading of a tale about the first dog. Without resorting to exaggerated dramatic effects, he builds an authentic tone of constant danger in an uncertain world of hunter and prey while also establishing passionate relationships--human to human and human to wolf. Exciting and engaging, this story should have wide appeal for audiobook listeners. J.F. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2015, Portland, Maine
