The Totem

When police chief Nathan Slaughter settles in the tiny mountain community of Potter’s Field, Wyoming, his most fervent prayer is that he has left behind him forever the nightmare he barely survived on a blizzardy night in Detroit. But nothing prepares him for the greater sanity-threatening nightmare he is about to confront. Beginning with the discovery of mutilated cattle on outlying ranches, Slaughter is drawn deeper and deeper into a vortex of terror as animals become savage and children go insane, trapping the entire town in a frenzy of violence. As Slaughter races against time to expose the horrifying secret behind the increasingly savage attacks, he also struggles to overcome his deepest fears.©1979 David Morrell (P)2013 Brilliance Audio, Inc.

Disappointing

I expected a really good book based on the reviews. Didn’t even finish it I found it boring.

Absolutely unexpected

Believable characters, great development, and as plausible a story like this could possibly be. I would definitely recommend this listen.
I liked his writing style enough that I might see into another one of his books. Probably not Rambo though. Not my thing, but, maybe…..

Meh...

The narrator sounds like he's reading off the phone book, no inflection, no emotion.
It doesn't help that the book is too wordy, describing every minor action every character takes.

Lots of fun, cool spin on lunar monstrosities

Good story and worth the while. Realistic, likable characters. For me, the ending had a punch. Not disappointing as some or most endings. If you like suspense and werewolvian horror, chances are, you might like this.

Skip it

if I had a time machine I would go back in time and tell myself to save the credit. nothing really happens. Leftover Research from Rambo
