The question was,”Does memory define one’s existence?” He thought not, but If he couldn’t remember who he was, what he’d done in life, who he loved, who he hated, where he lived, where he came from, does he have an identity? If someone or thing robs him of his memory, do they steal his identity? These are the questions, Magic, the gifted Golden Retriever asked himself. Magic’s Memory embodies the same trust and commitment between the gifted Golden Retriever and Ryan Quinn as shown in the other Magic novels. Driven by greed, the search for Magic’s gift of human intelligence has devastating consequences. While the reason for Magic’s amazing cognitive prowess may have been revealed, the secret of their origin remains a mystery.

The 4th book in the Magic dog mysteries series. Magic, a big golden retriever and Ryan, a US Marine met in war-torn Iraq. Magic and Ryan have a secret. At home in the US they find that the enemy is not so obvious as Magic's special gift makes him and his family a target. A product of genetic experimentation, Magic can think like a human. Much of the story is written from Magic's point of view, making this series extraordinary, fresh and fun. How does a dog with human intelligence see and understand humans, and other dogs? He has a unique advantage to see and interact with both. Magic and Ryan continue on their journey through life and adventures in this fast paced page-turner. Danger is always just a bark away, it seems. In the end, it's about protecting the ones you love. And who better to know how to love and protect his family than Magic, brave and strong. If you haven't read the first 3 books in this series it won't diminish the enjoyment of this one. I started reading Magic's Memory and I was hooked and quickly grabbed the others I had missed.
I just love the"Magic" books. I've read them all! I do hope there will another one soon. It seems I've waited forever for this book to come to print!! I enjoy reading about Ryan and Magic and their expanded families. With Ryan now married and Magic with his mate Charm and their son Wizard. I LOVE dogs and this series always keeps me in suspense. Will Magic be okay because Ryan and Magic always get into some international or national defense intrigue! There's a happy ending folks. It's very enjoyable and definitely keeps your interest!
