873.0. "Looking for an old book!" by LUDWIG::PHILLIPS (Music of the spheres.) Mon May 21 1990 10:27

    I am looking for a book I have not seen in eons.
    
    The title is "Mystery At Marr's Hill" and the author is Rene
    Prudhommeaux (guess on spelling of both?).
    
    I remember borrowing it from the library back when I was in grade
    school in the early sixties.  There are a few things I recall about
    it:
    
    The cover (dust jacket) showed two people driving a Jetsons-like
    spacecraft over an unnamed planet.
    
    The protagonists included some humanoid extraterrestrials who spoke
    with "incredibly clear voices". There was also an Earth teenager
    named Rick (my nickname, so I naturally identified with him! ;^)
    
    They utilized a locket-like device called an "enza" which absorbed
    electric currents from the body and turned it into light.       
    
    	==================================================
    
    I can remember little else about the book; I remember just enough
    to tantalize.  Can anyone out there help with a plot, or better
    yet, a copy of the book?

    	Might as well post the question here:
    
    	Who wrote the book "Walkers", which was later made into a made-
    	for-TV movie starring Cheryl Ladd or Farrah Fawcett or someone
    	like that?
    
    	It was about people that were coming back to life in a sort of
    	"zombie"-type way?
    
    	The only author I can think of is Dean R. Koontz, but I don't
    	think it's him.  And now I'm stuck on Alan Dean Foster, but I
    	don't know if it's him either.
    
    	Thanks for any info.

Reg:    <<< Note 873.1 by MILKWY::SLABOUNTY "Would you like a McDolphin, sir?" 


Could you be thinking of "The Long Walk" - one of four short stories by 
Stephen King included in "The Bachman Books" ???

    	No, this one was out a good time before Bachman surfaced.  I
    	remember reading it about 10 years ago or so.
