Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
This unwieldy thriller from bestseller Morrell (First Blood) becomes so caught up in its headlong action that it never stops to explore the possibilities of its intriguing premise. Frank Balenger, the emotionally banged-up hero of the Stoker Award–winning Creepers (2005), finds he must play an elaborate...game to save himself and his lover, blonde, blue-eyed Amanda Evert, who reminds him so much of his late wife. The nefarious Adrian Murdock, a history professor at Atlanta's Oglethorpe University and a member of the Time Capsule Society, sends the pair on a hunt through time that keeps them in constant danger as they attempt to discover the secret of a series of time capsules. While Morrell delivers race-against-the-clock thrills with his usual aplomb and does a good job educating the reader about actual time capsules, the minimal characterization makes it hard to care about Balenger and Amanda. Video gamers will be most satisfied.

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.
