Scavenger (A Balenger/Creepers Novel)
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 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.

About the Author

About The Author
Although David Morrell is best known for his award-winning novel First Blood, he is also a former professor of American literature. With an M.A. and Ph.D. from Penn State, he taught in the English department at the University of Iowa for sixteen years. As a teenager, wanting to become a composer and arranger, he devoted several years to studying musical theory, harmony, counterpoint, and orchestration. He played piano in dance bands and small clubs. Simultaneously, he became interested in writing novels and eventually abandoned what he had expected would be a career in music.
Morrell is the author of more than thirty books, including the espionage trilogy, The Brotherhood of the Rose (the basis for the only television miniseries to be broadcast after a Super Bowl), The Fraternity of the Stone, and The League of Night and Fog. An Edgar, Anthony, and Macavity nominee, he received the career-achievement Thriller Master award from the International Thriller Writers organization in 2009. With eighteen million copies in print, his work has been translated into twenty-six languages. He can be contacted at his website, www.davidmorrell.net.
