The state police of Troop D in rural Pennsylvania have kept a secret in Shed B
out back of the barracks ever since 1979, when Troopers Ennis Rafferty and
Curtis Wilcox answered a call from a gas station just down the road and came
back with an abandoned Buick Roadmaster. Curt Wilcox knew old cars, and
he knew immediately that this one was...wrong, just wrong. A few hours
later, when Rafferty vanished, Wilcox and his fellow troopers knew the car
was worse than dangerous.
Curt's avid curiosity took the lead, and they investigated as best they could,
as much as they dared. Over the years, the troop absorbed the mystery as
part of the background to their work, the Buick 8 sitting out there like a
still-life painting that breathes?inhaling a little bit of this world, exhaling a
little bit of whatever world it came from.
In the fall of 2001, a few months after Curt Wilcox is killed in a gruesome
auto accident, his eighteen-year-old boy, Ned, starts coming by the
barracks. Sandy Dearborn, Sergeant Commanding, knows it's the boy's way
of holding onto his father, and Ned is allowed to become part of the Troop D
family. One day he looks in the window of Shed B and discovers the family
secret. Like his father, Ned wants answers...
From a Buick 8 is an audiobook about our fascination with deadly things,
about our insistence on answers when there are none, about terror and
courage in the face of the unknowable.

Thanks,
I just thought you should know, Disc 3 has a few glitches towards the end. Very suprising for an EAC rip.

Well, if a disc is scratched, not even EAC is infallible. I wish you would have provided more information as to the exact location of this glitch.

Ok, I've found the errors mentioned and have reviewed them.
They are not encoding errors (as I check each track in the logs before joining each disc) but the result of damaged media. Fortunately it is very minor. Sorry about this but I can't help the condition I sometimes receive these audiobooks in.
The auidiobook is still very enjoyable. :)

Yes indeed, I wasn't complaining, just letting you know.
Your audiobook encodes are great. I don't understand people who encode audiobooks at high bitrate stereo.
Yours sound excellent :)

I appreciate your comments SeymourCat. :)
I agree with high bitrate being overkill for spoken word audio, but even worse is those who encode at 64k stereo, or worse! Blech! :P
