Summary

More than three million acres of dense woodlands make up the North Maine Woods. There are no major towns. No public roads. Nothing but forest for as far as the eye can see.

When two marines and their corpsman reunite after a decade apart, they find themselves caught up in the mystery of their former squad leader’s disappearance. With little more to go on than a handful of disturbing charcoal sketches and the whispers of a local legend, they plunge into the depths of one of America’s last truly wild places.

But the trees themselves begin to whisper dark secrets. Secrets of trafficking and violence. Of rotten science and blood. Of something else that lurks in the shadows of the pines—something ancient, savage, and hungry.

Absolutely loved the storyline. It kept me going all the way until the end. Would recommend and will be looking for other novels from this Author. And also this Narrator.

This is a good story. The character development is good, the history of the men is well established and the ending is enjoyable, but it sure does take a long time to get started.

It is good, but it's very slow to start up.

Finished it to make sure everyone died. Spoiler: not everyone did. Just the interesting ones.

Better than the worst book I've listened to
