Publisher Description
Frank Balenger, the resolute but damaged hero of David Morrell's acclaimed 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.

"This book is excellent. It grabs you from the very beginning and never lets you down until the very end. Even though the main characters are from "Creepers," it is not necessary to read Creepers before reading Scavernger."
— Bob (4 out of 5 stars)
Scavenger Listener Reviews
-
" Not very good. Crapper than the Creepers book. "
— Peter, 2/19/2014 -
" {audio version} This just didn't do much for me. It felt rushed in the beginning - like, "let me throw some people at you and jump right into the plot without giving you a chance to get to know the characters." It didn't build up at all - it seemed like I was just thrown in the middle of it. Additionally, I've always said that a narrator can make or break a book for me...and this guy was not my favorite to listen to. "
— Pamela, 2/18/2014 -
" HB -- it starts with confusion but the author unravels an adventure -- good reading so far. It is a scavenger hunt, fast and an adventure. "
— Irene, 2/18/2014 -
" Ahh, sequelitis... Not nearly as good as Creepers. The scavenger hunt aspects were interesting, but the split narrative took away from the story I think. I really am not a fan of the lets tell a little of this story, and then skip back to telling the other story style. The ending was extremely lame, although the climax was pretty cool. The Sepulchre of Worldly Desires was just plain creepy. The narrator of the book on cd wasn't very good, so that may have effected my feelings and rating. Probably would have been better had I read the book instead of listened to it. "
— Jonathan, 12/31/2013 -
" More predictable than "Creepers" but still very entertaining. "
— Kel, 12/31/2013 -
" I liked the usage of geocaching in the book. It was a decent book and stands up to what is coming on the market right now. "
— Stephen, 12/16/2013 -
" Another excellent, fast-paced, gripping novel by David Morrell. "
— Tina, 10/24/2013 -
" Sort of creepy and quite a stretch in some ways, but an enjoyable read, nonetheless. "
— Kw, 10/20/2013 -
" Trey and I are starting this audio book. "
— Michele, 9/14/2013 -
" Like its predecessor, Creepers, David Morrell's Scavenger ALMOST hits the mark and becomes a great horror novel... but not quite. I wanted to like this book so much more than I did. "
— Traci, 8/14/2013 -
" thrilling and the scenes are really detailed and superior "
— Troianeca, 6/8/2013 -
" A fast moving story, easy reading. I have read some of his earlier novels and enjoyed them. "
— Jim, 5/24/2013 -

— Linda, 1/30/2013 -

— Joanna, 2/9/2012 -
" I like this book a lot its kinda ugh but lord does it leave you wanting to know what happens i had a hard time puttin it down when i had to do somethin lol "
— Stacey, 11/21/2011 -
" Excellent; two survivors from the Creepers book are tricked into participating in a life-and-death "game" tied to time capsules and modern technology "
— Joe, 10/14/2011 -
" It was plain OK. The story went dragging too much, atleast for my liking "
— Skele, 8/29/2011 -
" Interesting book. I enjoyed it, but the reservoir had Water Moccasin's in it which would be impossible. They are a southern species and couldn't survive in the location of the reservoir. "
— Stu, 8/7/2011 -
" pretty good book, fast-paced, good action. "
— Melinda, 6/12/2011 -
" I think this book have a quite complicated story as the english level for world teenagers is high..<br/>But, it's still, can cut your nerves~ "
— Aphee, 5/2/2011 -
" A fast moving story, easy reading. I have read some of his earlier novels and enjoyed them. "
— Jim, 3/27/2011 -
" I knew going into it that it wasn't going to be great but I still had to try. Again, clever enough concept, just nothing amazing. A litte too far out there as far as a realistic situation goes and he tried to through some "philosophy" in there that was a bit of a stretch. "
— Emily, 2/27/2011 -
" Loved this book. It has influenced my life so much as I now partake in geocaching as a hobby & love it! "
— Dave, 2/26/2011 -
" I really liked the game aspect of it. Sort of like Saw where the characters have to complete missions and tasks. The time capsule part of it was very interesting as well. I will have to check out Creepers since this is the sequel to it. Although not reading the first book didn't leave me confused. "
— Bill1971, 12/31/2010 -
" Definitely not one of his best. There are a few gaping plot-holes.[return]The time capsule discussions are fascinating, especially since there is one not 2Km from my home. "
— Johann, 11/22/2010 -
" Good writing marred by a plot that reads too much like a script for a "thriller" movie that I've already seen. "
— Julie, 10/2/2010 -
" Enjoyable read. The excitement kept me wanting to read more. "
