The Radium Pool by Edward Earl Repp audiobook.

Genre: scifi

In the heat-blasted emptiness of Death Valley, reporter James Dowell expects a routine assignment: tag along with Professor Bloch and document a scientific expedition into the forbidding Manalava Plains. Instead, a weathered prospector called Driftin' Sands draws Dowell into a decades-long mystery - the disappearance of Allie Lane, the woman Sands has hunted for across the desert's shifting horizons. Their search leads beyond dry washes and volcanic ridges to something no map admits: a hidden cavern world where stalactites gleam with unnatural light and an immense pool of shimmering, corrosive radiance pulses like a living thing. Strange tracks, half-human remains, and whispers of towering, frog-faced beings turn the rescue into a confrontation with an intelligence that does not belong on Earth. As Bloch's theories collide with brutal reality, Dowell and Sands must decide how far they will go for love, wealth, and answers, while a silent warning presses at the edge of their minds. Fast, eerie, and steeped in pulp-era wonder, The Radium Pool blends desert adventure with subterranean science-fantasy and the dread of trespassing where humans are not welcome.
