David Morrell is the New York Times bestselling author of twenty-eight books, including his award-winning Creepers. Co-president of the International Thrillers Writers Organization, he is considered by many to be the father of the modern action novel. David resides in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
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.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. SCAVENGER takes us on a roller-coaster ride as Frank Balenger, the resolute but damaged hero of CREEPERS, now finds himself trapped in a nightmarish game of fear and death as he leads a high-tech scavenger hunt for a decades-old time capsule. To save himself, and the woman he loves, Balenger must play by the rules of a god-like Game Master with an obession for unearthing the past. But sometimes the past is buried for a reason. As modern technology is layered over the dusty artifacts of earlier times, the result is a surreal palimpsest, one which 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. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR001403801
