Publisher's Summary

A likely tail. He was a stringy mongrel, wandering the streets of the city, driven by a ravenous hunger and hunting a quarry he could not define. But he was something more. Somewhere in the depths of his consciousness was memory clawing its way to the surface, tormenting him, refusing to let him rest. The memory of what he once had been.

James Herbert was one of Britain's greatest popular novelists and our #1 best-selling writer of chiller fiction. Widely imitated and hugely influential, he wrote 23 novels which have collectively sold over 54 million copies worldwide and been translated into 34 languages.

Born in London in the forties, James Herbert was art director of an advertising agency before turning to writing fiction in 1975. His first novel, The Rats, was an instant best-seller and is now recognised as a classic of popular contemporary fiction. Herbert went on to publish a new top ten best-seller every year until 1988. He wrote six more bestselling novels in the 1990s and three more since: Once, Nobody True and The Secret of Crickley Hall. Herbert died in March 2013 at the age of 69.

Narrator Damian Lynch avoids cartoonish clichés in his performance of Fluke, instead finding the right note of believability as he voices a canine protagonist who comes to remember that he was once a man. Lynch layers his voice with urgency and a desire for revenge as he evokes Fluke's desperate need to find out what happened to him and his human family. Studded with scenes of humor and moments of revelation, this story will leave listeners ruminating on mortality and the afterlife.

A dog's adventure

The story is about a dog's adventure into a world he is unaware of, but stil knows a lot about. How he moved from different owners and what that taught him. It's a straight story without too many twists untill you reach the end- that's where an interesting plot is revealed. Overall, read it for some light and fast story that will keep you entertained
