The Deadly Dust by Murray Leinster ~ Full Audiobook [scifi]
from Classic Audiobook Collection · host Classic Audiobook Collection LLC
The Deadly Dust by Murray Leinster audiobook. Genre: scifi Geiger counters across the United States begin to spike, and a fine, drifting fall of dust turns out to be something far worse than dirt on the wind: invisible, spreading radioactivity. Dr. David Murfree, a quiet government scientist who recognizes the pattern too quickly for anyone's comfort, tries to sound the alarm - only to find that procedure, permissions, and office politics move slower than a contaminated weather front. Desperate, Murfree sets out to find the one person rumored to think faster than the system: Bug Gregory, a backwoods, self-taught genius with an uncanny knack for practical atomic know-how. As the lethal dust advances, the two follow clues that lead from official laboratories and skeptical superiors to unsettling reports from the open ocean, where a seemingly ordinary fishing boat tows a lead-sheathed mystery and leaves a trail of dead fish behind it. With time running out and proof hard to pin down, Murfree and Gregory must unravel what is creating the deadly fallout - and figure out how to stop it before a continent pays the price.
