Goliath Bone (by Mickey Spillane with Max Allan Collins)

THE GOLIATH BONE by Mickey Spillane with Max Allan Collins (unabridged) is presented by Blackstone Audio and comes with what is perhaps the best audiobook app available (see FEATURES, below).

“Mike Hammer is an icon of our culture.” (New York Times)

World-famous P.I. Mike Hammer is back, this time fighting a foe deadlier than the mobsters and KGB agents of his past: Islamic extremists and terrorists, whose sinister agendas involve stealing a recently discovered archeological relic—a perfectly preserved femur of what may have been the biblical giant Goliath.

Self-contained, this audiobook app is perfect for your commute, on a trip, or while relaxing. Based on a library-quality recording, this app was built especially for your iPhone and iPod Touch. No unreadable text, no endless scrolling on a tiny screen. The audio is of higher-than-normal quality, making for a great listening experience that will not tire your ears or grate on your nerves.

NOTICE: This app includes the exact same 5-star recording offered elsewhere at much higher prices. It was professionally recorded by Blackstone Audio’s Earphones®-winning narrator Stacy Keach. You are not buying yet another amateur or volunteer narration. No clicks, background noises, throat clearing, mispronunciations, tinny voices or monotones will be found here.
