I read that book (same cover) back in my teen years. I'll have to give the radio version a shot.

I'm listening to it right now! Flawless audio quality, and a very enjoyable drama. Reminds me a lot of The Omega Man.

Give Three Skeleton Key a try, Wayne. I heard it on a transistor radio with an earplug on Armed Forces Radio in Korea back in 1969 while on guard duty as an Air Force Security Policeman.

It was about 10:00 at night, walking around on the flight line with a rifle on my shouldering guarding C-130s. Scary story. It certainly kept me awake.

Three Skeleton Key is just as good as I remembered.
