The Visionary: Good Boys, Book 3

Good Boys #3

by Jeremy Robinson, Tom Taylorson (narrator)

In a ravaged world, a former Army Ranger and his loyal golden retriever lead a desperate mission against an alien overlord, testing the bond between humanity… and their best friends.

Three months after the Draun invasion, the world is a wasteland. Cities lie in ruins, billions are dead, and civilization teeters on the brink. Micah Taylor, his loyal golden retriever Grover, and their allies journey north through the devastation, guided by an underground resistance of dog lovers. Their Los Angeles, where they hope to unite with Praxion's team and strike at the Draun's heart in Tokyo, now the seat of the Visionary's power.

Meanwhile, Praxion leads a team on a globe-spanning quest aboard their ship, the Prowler, hoping to restore a team member who has been unconscious since absorbing the ancient souls of the Lost Tribe. Instead, they awaken a new and ancient ally determined to aid in their fight against the Visionary and save the souls of their fallen comrades.

As these two courageous teams converge, they face not only the twisted telekinetic might of the Draun but also an army of nightmarish biologics and the Visionary himself. In this desperate battle for Earth's survival, loyalties are tested, new alliances are forged, and the unbreakable bond between a man and his dog is pushed to its limits.

#1 Audible and New York Times bestselling author Jeremy Robinson delivers a heart-pounding conclusion to the Good Boys trilogy, blending epic battles, emotional depth, and unexpected humor. Good Boys is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the enduring power of friendship, love, and loyalty.

Jeremy Robinson wraps up his Good Boys trilogy in the way he writes all his books - with incredible awesomeness! Perfect ending!

In my humble opinion, of course 💙

[Julie Carter · Rating 5 out of 5]

The Good Boys series is the best, and this final book does not disappoint. These characters feel like family and the wrap up of the series is excellent. I just wish it could go on forever. There is everything you could want in this book - humor, suspense, touching moments and the best part, dogs. Jeremy Robinson's writing keeps you on the edge of your seat and Tom Taylorson's narration brings the characters to life in an amazing way. Treat yourself to these three books - you will not be sorry!

What a fantastic series

What an amazing trilogy of books.
Whether you're a dog lover or not, I highly recommend this amazing series.
From the mind of Jeremy Robinson comes an action-packed sci-fi series. With an amazing cast of characters, which I really want to expand on but I want you to experience it for yourself firsthand.
I hope someone, somewhere, reads these and thinks they would make an original series of movies, something that has never been seen before.

[Max Lester · Rating 5 out of 5]

Fantastic trilogy and a must read for all dog lovers. Extremely well performed by TT and full of action and good laughs.
Scary to think that Lumen Sok is now sitting right next to the current president, what's his next step...? Maybe he should be put through the sniffing test🤔

Loved this series!! It would make a great movie/show

[Sheri L. · Rating 5 out of 5]

Sooo, I actually listened to this book (Audible), along with the other two in the trilogy in about a week. I adore this trilogy. It appeals to my goofy, nerdy, animal loving personality, and it was uproariously hilarious. The premise itself is a riot; however, only Jeremy Robinson could turn the most whack-a-mole idea into such a hard core emotional investment by the end. I didn’t come up for air until I finished them all! Somehow, by the end, talking, upright walking, elite canine infiltrators was such a norm… I found myself giving my German Sheperd a solemn nod, “I see you, you amazing bad ass operator in disguise, I see you.”

If you’re looking for a laugh, a break neck adventure, an honest, emotional connection to characters, or a complete break with reality…. EVERYONE should have a listen. The narrator was OUTSTANDING! The voices were spot on and if there is ever a movie or Netflix adaptation, the actors are going to have HUGE shoes to fill in their portrayal.

I laughed (out loud, and I mean loud), I sobbed, I cheered, I ducked, I weaved, and I kicked ass. What more can you ask for?

DNF @ 35%

had to drop it after yet another Torel-is-in-dream-land scene, as it revolved around the stupid Souls of the dead being locked inside her, which is a boring and old trope.

also, it continues the disappointing thing from the second one by separating the characters, which makes it less exciting and the story more drawn out.

we should have had the kynolari people be contacted in the second one and have them come to support humanity in this one.

worst of all, every single chapter ends with a tease for the next one. it's not like that's bad in itself, but it leads to many chapters where not much happens until this tease at the very end that you don't find out the answer to until the PoV rolls around and it happens again.

Big wrap-up of the trilogy. A nicely satisfying ending. If you’re a dog person who reads sci-fi, then you’ll probably like this series. There are clear MCU influences, such as the killer space Chihuahua who reminds me of Rocket Raccoon, mixed with other influences, like a version of Shaggy from Scooby-Doo.

This entry is a little on the gross side (there’s a lot of sneaking through sewers) and I wasn’t as keen about the afterlife stuff and telekinesis bits, but overall it’s a solid story.

The audiobook narration by Tom Taylorson is spectacular.

[Dchamp · Rating 4 out of 5]

Jeremy Robinson could set the rules, by which all books SHOULD have an ending!

Not only is everything, and I do mean EVERYTHING wrapped up, but it's done quite believably which is odd for Science Fiction.
Great set of 3 books, but if you read them, know they start out a bit... strange, but get better and better!
Great books, highly recommended!

[Jeri · Rating 3 out of 5]

2.5 The first book was fun, in a "don't take it seriously" kind of way. But my least favorite part was all the running around / shooting everything up, and there is even more in the later installments. With less of the fun space-dog intro stuff (they're pretty much taken for granted now). I kind of wanted to know what happened, but I wasn't very invested.

[Shane · Rating 5 out of 5]

This whole series was a really pleasant surprise. Great storytelling and amazing characters drive this story. It was crude and chaotic, hilarious and heartwarming. Great audio narration, a little hard to believe it was 1 narrator but Tom Taylorson was amazing! Really glad Hoopla suggested this series in last months bonus borrows! 4.5 stars!

[Braxten Spooner · Rating 5 out of 5]

Amazing book, and a perfect series for fans of sci-fi, action and dogs! Humor, heart and excitement. Jeremy Robinson is so good at creating character and their interactions with the world and each other. I constantly download anything he puts out and have yet to be dissatisfied.

[I C Douglas · Rating 5 out of 5]

Just brilliant!

REALLY enjoyed this trilogy, funny, moving, action packed, great characters, it's got the lot, wonderful story telling, give the trilogy a read you won't be disappointed

[David James · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great series.

If you love dogs, and aren’t bothered by a few cuss words, okay quite a few cuss words, you have to read this series. It’s been a long time since a story made me laugh out loud. Thanks Mr Robinson. You did not disappoint.

[Bill Quinn · Rating 5 out of 5]

What's love got to do with it?

Everything. As in I loved everything about all three books. Well-written,smart, hilarious, wonderfully gross in parts, action-packed,and yes, sexy parts. Love it all. Buy it or miss out.

[Vanessa Kiger · Rating 4 out of 5]

Grover!!!

I loved, LOVED the ending of this trilogy. This one dragged for me and the plot felt thin but the ending more than made up for that. Grover is everything!!! Overall and really good trilogy!

[Marty · Rating 5 out of 5]

I've been a dog owner all my life, and a science fiction fan. I listened to it on Audible, and the storyline is full of twists and turns, masterfully vocalized by Tom Taylorson. Very enjoyable and highly recommended.

[Kirsten Yeager · Rating 5 out of 5]

All I gotta say is if this trilogy doesn't get a movie deal, I will be so pissed! These characters need to come to life on the screen, and no fn watered down PG shit either, make it for the big kids who can handle crass humor and bad behavior!!! Loved this!!!!

[Donald Firl · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wonderful story

The series is well written and contains enough action, terror and sweetness for everyone. And..a lot of silliness. Language dude!

This is a fantastic series. I loved all three books. The narrator was excellent.

This might be my favorite J Robinson book/series yet. If you're a dog lover, you need to read this. Fantastic story and as always hoping for more Grover! All three are must reads.
