THE DEADLY DUST by Murray Leister, by Murray Leinster (1896 - 1975)

This project can now be found in our catalog at https://librivox.org/the-deadly-dust-by-murray-leinster/


Murray Leinster does not disappoint with this gem of a story. The dust is deadly. It is slowly drifting down over the North American continent. Not ordinary dust, this dust is highly radioactive and silently deadly. Only one person sees too clearly that the USA is doomed and everyone in it unless this horrible, silent, death brining 'dust' can be stopped. And he, Doctor David Murfree, the only person to see the danger, cannot get permission from his superior to take leave from his civil servant job so that he can find the only man in America who might know what is causing this dust and perhaps even fix it. . - Summary by phil chenevert

Prooflistening level: Standard
Prospective PLs, please see the Guide for Proof-listeners.

IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the number of languishing projects on our server, we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't recorded anything. If we don't hear from you for three months, your project may be opened up to a group project if a Book Coordinator is found. Files you have completed will be used in this project. If you haven't recorded anything yet, your project will be removed from the forum (contact any admin to see if it can be re-instated).

Please don't download or listen to files belonging to projects in process unless you are the BC or PL. Our servers are not set up to handle the greater volume of traffic. Please wait until the project has been completed. Thanks!

Section 1
PL NOTES
Minor thing... just probably an oversight, but your ending silence is just about 2 seconds. About 5 seconds would be awesome. :)

Oh no. Much too risky. We deposit it directly into your Karma account. Big bucks I tell you!!!

Also, the third section is in the magic window. Thankfully the USA has been saved from destruction once again. :shock:
