Award-worthy storyteller Charles Quinn brings readers an unflinching, deeply human portrait of war, friendship, and survival in his powerful new novel, 2 Marines and a Dog. Blending pulse-pounding battlefield realism with raw emotional honesty, Quinn captures not only what it takes to survive combat — but what it takes to survive coming home.
The novel follows Spencer, a Marine sniper forged in the crucible of Camp Pendleton and tested in the unforgiving Mekong Delta. Alongside his brothers-in-arms — including his closest friend, Tyler, and an unlikely canine ally whose instincts often outpace human senses — Spencer navigates the deadly realities of Vietnam’s killing fields. But when the war ends, the real fight begins: confronting the ghosts that follow him home.
When a letter arrives from Tyler’s mother, inviting Spencer to Washington, D.C., for a posthumous Medal of Honor ceremony, it forces him to face the memories he’s tried to bury for twenty years. The journey that follows — on rails, through landscapes that mirror his inner turmoil — becomes a test of courage every bit as demanding as the ones he faced in uniform.
“This isn’t just a war story,” says Quinn. “It’s about the invisible wounds soldiers carry, the bonds that outlast the battlefield, and the slow, uneven road to healing.”
With its vivid scenes of sniper training, haunting depictions of combat, and tender moments of connection between men and a dog who becomes one of them, 2 Marines and a Dog delivers a narrative that is equal parts adrenaline and heart. It speaks to veterans, military families, and anyone who has faced the kind of loss and endurance that reshapes a life.
Key Themes in 2 Marines and a Dog:
- The unbreakable bonds forged in war — between men and even across species
- The moral and emotional toll of combat
- PTSD, addiction, and the silent battles waged at home
- How a single letter can become a turning point in a life defined by loss
