Length: 8 hrs

Publisher's summary

Max knew the drugs and alcohol would eventually kill him, and sooner rather than later. So he enlisted in the Marines. His timing is unfortunate, as the events of 9/11 find him at the beginning of his military service, and he is sent to Iraq. The journey he embarks on is unlike anything he could ever imagine.

From Washington, Boston and New Orleans to the ancient sands of Iraq, Max and his entourage endure the toils of war with courage, romance, patriotism, heartache and passion. Only one weapon gets them through the anguish they come face to face with: Music.

This novel is a tribute to the author's son who served as a Marine, and to all Veterans.

A wonderful read!

Such a wonderful and incredible book that is full of love, war and music.

Such an incredible book that will leave you amazed and dazed. Loved every moment of it.

The narrator was amazing! A good, brilliant job of bringing it alive.

A beautiful story

I love the story even though it’s a little mushy it had its twists and turns that made me stay with it.

Some points:
* A very good storyline that progressed nicely
* Characters descriptions was a little lacking in my opinion. I didn’t get the feeling of knowing the characters until a good way in to the story, but then it was great.
* The writing style is a little staccato and it felt stilted but the greatness of the storyline saved it for me.
* There’s a lot of love in this story and nothing can go to wrong with that.

About the performance:
* I felt like I was in a tin box listening to it and that was a little disturbing.
* Pronunciation was very good
* I would have preferred a male voice in the mix because I feel most women reading male voices can’t make it work, at least not for my ears.
* I loved the music in between the chapters 💜 it really set the mood when listening. Keep that up.

Would I buy this? Yes, because of the great story. And again, this is my personal opinion!!!

Great Warrior story

This is a really good story. It did take a moment to catch me though. The sound seems off a little like in an empty room. I did finally get into the characters and feel this story will have a lasting effect on me. I love the music tie in of the story and the whole famous aspect. This is a good read.

“I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.”
I'm not really sure how to write a review on this. This is not the type of book I normally read/listen to. Unfortunately or fortunately however you would like to look at it, I am the type that likes to be swept off into the mindless fantasy world (I tend to listen while I'm at work & anything that makes you think...makes it hard to work! lol). That being said, I really did enjoy the book. Its thought provoking. I thought it sounded a little bit like the narrator was talking in a tin can and I really wish that there had been a man speaking as the narrator didn't quite hit the mark.

The writing is very good and the story will appeal better to someone who has read the first two books in this series.I am following this series

Good Read

Warrior Music was a good read by Denise Kahn.Mac and his entourage endure war with gallantry, patriotism, courage, heartache and passion. They use music to get through the anguish they face everyday. I enjoyed reading this book and cant wait to read more by the author.

Not what I expected...better

Audio-book: Narrator – Denise Kahn

This was a very nice narration. Each character’s voice was clean and clear even when accented and I was always able to discern who was speaking. Sometimes I had a bit of trouble with the fluctuations at the end of a sentence but that’s an issue that is all on the listener. Overall, I really enjoyed this narration.


This book covered the journey of a young man from his teenage years through his boot camp days in the Marines, and into the Iraq war where he meets and falls in love with Sam, a nurse at a combat surgical hospital. The author colored each phase with a picture so sharp and clear I felt as though I stood right beside Max, and Sam as well, as they both pushed through to become survivors. And along the way is the music that cannot be missed and only adds to the richness of this story.

I was given this free review copy audio-book at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Let the 5 star music move you

This is such a realistic listen. What happens to a solider when he’s in service and after he leaves the service . What happens when a teenager thinks the army is the only way to safe people and the world . The settings takes place in New Orleans and the hero is trying to explain that music soothes the soul which in turn heals people. There are many layers to this story.

The narrator voice of Denise Kahn nailed it right on

Not to be missed!

This is the first book I've read by this author and it is excellent. I feel that it rather accurately reflects teenage missteps, The Corps, working as military and also the medical arm in a combat area where civilians are in danger from both sides. There is great depth of feeling expressed by the characters and felt by the reader. The publisher's blurb gives hints and there is no need to recap the the story here and I dislike spoilers. I truly appreciate this book.
Disclaimer : I love NOLA, so that tie-in was a real bonus for me, I am a nurse who has worked in settings with Music Therapists, I have friends and coworkers who were there in Iraq, and I have worked with many USMC as well as the grandson.
I requested and received a free audio copy in a giveaway.
This book is narrated by the author, and you never go wrong with that!
