About this audiobook

Random House presents the audiobook edition of The Last Dog on Earth by Adrian J Walker, read by David John and Jonathan Aris.

Every dog has its day...

And for Lineker, a happy go lucky mongrel from Peckham, the day the world ends is his: finally a chance to prove to his owner just how loyal he can be.

Reg, an agoraphobic writer with an obsession for nineties football, plans to wait out the impending doom in his second floor flat, hiding himself away from the riots outside.

But when an abandoned orphan shows up in the stairwell of their building, Reg and Lineker must brave the outside in order to save not only the child, but themselves...

‘Very few dystopian novels push through to the horrors explored here. Fewer still reach these heights of lyricism, humour and decency.’ - Daily Mail

Easily one of the 10 best books I've ever listened to. Somehow the title doesn't quite do it justice. It makes it sound a bit lightweight which it certainly is not. Of course it helped that the narrator is a nothing short of a genius! His accents were absolutely brilliant - especially the dog's. You've got to get this book!

From start to Finnish this book had me, the narrator was brilliant, third time listening to it, and it won't be the last

About the author

Adrian J Walker was born in the bush suburbs of Sydney, Australia in the mid '70s. After his father found a camper van in a ditch, he renovated it and moved his family back to the UK, where Adrian was raised.

Ever since he can remember, Adrian has been interested in three things: words, music and technology, and when he graduated from the University of Leeds, he found a career in software. His novel The End of the World Running Club, a post-apocalyptic running fable about hope, love and endurance, was a Simon Mayo Radio 2 book club choice.

He lives in Aberdeen with his wife and two children. To find out more visit: http://www.adrianjwalker.com/
