Martin Booth was a prolific British novelist and poet. He also worked as a teacher and screenwriter, and was the founder of the Sceptre Press. He died at the age of 59 in February 2004.
Jet, a mixed-breed black lab, orphaned when her owner is arrested for poaching, is requisitioned by the British army during WWII. The tale of her military career, from basic training to search-and-rescue missions on the beaches of Dunkirk and in the bombed-out cities of England, is read with an intensity befitting her dangerous endeavors. Christian Rodska sprinkles his reading with the occasional extravagantly voiced character--the shrill regimental sergeant major or the tittering old widow--to great advantage. Belying the omniscient narration in the text, Rodska's reading ensures that the listener's attention and sympathies are always with its canine hero. T.B. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
