About this audiobook

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. What if the most important non-human intelligence in fiction isn't in a spaceship - it's a sixty-pound English bulldog?

Alex Lucio's debut novel The Weight of a Dog returns in the form it was written to become: an immersive full-cast audio drama. Cinematic sound design. Character voices across four centuries. An original score built around the 19 Hz frequency at the story's heart. A grief manual disguised as a thriller.

Three families. Four centuries. One frequency.

In 1625, a seventeen-year-old Italian girl named Livia says yes to an entity that promises to end her grief - and loses her body for four hundred years. In the present, physicist Giovanni Constantino dies hiding an ancient artifact, leaving his grandson Nick a wheel that shouldn't exist, a dog that isn't entirely a dog, and a mission connecting the Great Pyramid to the quantum structure of consciousness. Nearby, Julie Callais discovers her murdered mother's tapes - recordings that name the force keeping humanity asleep for twelve thousand years.

Between them: a frequency war. An entity four centuries old that wears a teenage girl like a suit. And a bulldog who crossed dimensions to sit on a broken boy's chest and teach him a breathing pattern - four in, seven hold, ten out - that turns out to be the key to reconnecting a species.

"Fear is just love looking for the door."

The science is real. Infrasound at 19 Hz. Penrose-Hameroff quantum consciousness. The Great Pyramid's measurable acoustics. Lucio, a medical device inventor with multiple patents, built every speculative leap from published research.

Produced unabridged with full cast, sound design, and original score - adapted from the second, illustrated edition of the novel.
