About this listen
If ever an island was misnamed then Skylark would take the top prize. A foreboding and uninhabited military relic left over from World War II where no one has set foot on its fog laden shores for decades. Even the locals on the mainland know to stay away and fishermen dare not venture into her waters as nothing seems to live within the island’s vicinity.
The military is selling up the land to developers despite the concerns and objections of the locals who live within sight of the island, but they are not interested in heeding the supposedly superstitious warnings to stay away.
Now eight soldiers are being sent to the old base to decommission her. It is a low level job and so the unit sent are a variety of misfits and screw ups selected by the sergeant in charge of the thankless mission.
Corporal Amber Wolfe is a last minute addition to the specially selected unit and a potential spanner in the works as she quickly finds that nothing and no one here is quite what it seems and there are deeper unseen plans afoot.
What should have been a simple job will turn into a nightmare battle for survival as the newcomers quickly discover that they are not alone. Cut off from the mainland and forced to band together without sufficient supplies this is going to be the longest weekend of their lives and not everyone is going to live to see Monday morning.

Archie Knox is an old school gangster, a throwback celebrity criminal whose reach is wide enough to cause ripples the size of tidal waves that could drown Clay & those he cares about. A reach that stretches to his cold hearted and vicious granddaughter and her plans ...

Her uncomplicated world is coming to an end with a cancer diagnosis that will cut short a life that revolved around work and little else. Her answer to rapidly approaching finish line is to tie up the cases that no one believes are murders but her gut tells her otherwise.

Story
At a passing glance, County Road 951 is an entirely unremarkable stretch of blacktop, a two-lane scar across the Cascade foothills of Central Oregon. But the road is known by another name, coined by locals who’ve had to clean up after all those scenic detours went horribly wrong: The Devil’s Driveway. When Livia and her long-time friends take the Driveway as a shortcut to a much-needed weekend getaway, what begins as a morning joyride quickly becomes anything but. Soon, they’re driving for their lives, pursued by a horror beyond anything they ever imagined.

Not bad, not his best.
Tried one of the Author’s free Books on Audible narrated by Virtual Voice. He has some good stories. This one was not as good as some of the others but not I listened to the entire book. That’s not something I do with all the books I’ve gotten on Audible even the ones I’ve used a credit on.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
