Items related to Scavenger
David Morrell’s Creepers was a publishing event in 2005, a powerful, edgy, dark thriller by a master of the genre. A New York Times best-seller, it won the prestigious Bram Stoker Award and earned numerous critical raves. Scavenger, Morrell’s latest novel, takes us in a harrowing new direction: a desperate high-tech scavenger hunt for a 100-year-old time capsule. Frank Balenger, the resolute but damaged hero of Creepers, now finds himself trapped in a nightmarish game of fear and death. To save himself and the woman he loves, he must play by the rules of a god-like Game Master with an obsession for unearthing the past. But sometimes the past is buried for a reason. Scavenger is a brilliant, frightening hunter-hunted tale that layers modern technology over the dusty artifacts of earlier times. The result is a surreal palimpsest, one that contains the secret of survival for Balenger and a handful of unwilling players who race against the game’s clock to solve the puzzle of the time capsule, only to discover that time is the true scavenger. Morrell’s trademark action sequences are embedded with fascinating historical clues that make Scavenger a thrill-a-minute page-turner as well as a mesmerizing literary experience.

From AudioFile:
If you're looking for an oddball thriller, you don't have to scavenge--it's right here in David Morrell's latest tale. Frank Balenger, hero of CREEPERS, is back, and this time he's pitted against time and a draconian genius to find a time capsule that has been missing for a hundred years. Balenger and his crew have forty hours to find the capsule, or else. Patrick Lawlor is highly appropriate as the no-nonsense Balenger. His reading is glib, but forceful. When called upon, he ratchets up the tense moments and capitalizes on the excitement with ease. With his help, the author keeps listeners guessing to the end.
