The Pipes Are Calling: Meowmoirs of a Soldier

by Sally Darling

General Tobias and his purrgade of loveable soldiers have been keeping their family safe for years. But when a pair of new recruits show up, a nearby “freak accident” triggers a catastrophic chain of events, forcing the troops to face the most terrifying challenge of their lives—while confronting haunting memories of the past. Desperate to protect their humans at all costs, the team will stop at nothing to rid the world of the evils that bask in the shadows, far beneath our own lines of sight.

Forget everything you thought you knew as you read the real-life account straight from the cat’s meow, by none other than General Tobias himself. Translated for human readers for the very first time, by author Sally Darling, his is a tale so strange, so chilling, it just might make you think twice about ever going to the bathroom alone again.

The Pipes are Calling: Meowmoirs of a Soldier by Sally Darling was fantastic. I love every minute of it.
We are on in the world were and dogs are in the military and try to find what evil beings are doing the killing and also to protect their humans.
The characters names were very interesting to read.
General Tobias, Lieutenant Skittles, Doctor Bluebell, etc…
Darling is an excellent author and the story ended with a cliffhanger, which I loved.
