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."

    " Not very good. Crapper than the Creepers book. "

    " {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. "

    " HB -- it starts with confusion but the author unravels an adventure -- good reading so far. It is a scavenger hunt, fast and an adventure. "

    " 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. "

    " 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. "

    " 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. "
