Just people who don't run.\"\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn a brutal near-future America, where civilization has collapsed and survival depends on trade, grit, and trust, a boy named Tuba wakes to another bitter morning behind the rusted walls of Bill's Trade-Stop, a haven cobbled from shipping containers, barter, and stubborn decency. He doesn't remember a life before Bill. He's never asked much about how he came to be there. Until now.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs winter settles over the Colorado wastelands, a chance encounter stirs old memories and dangerous truths. What begins as a day like any other - feeding travelers, tending mules, becomes a journey into the past for both Tuba and the gruff trader who raised him. Over coffee, cigarettes, and trade-talk, a story unfolds: of desperate flight, of a baby rescued from violence, and a man who left behind a darker world to build something worth defending.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLong, Cold Ride\u003c\/b\u003e is a richly told tale of quiet resilience, forged identity, and reluctant fatherhood in a fractured world. At once intimate and epic, it introduces the stark, lived-in setting of the Iron Way - where firelight and steel stand against chaos, and where every traveler has a story worth trading.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 68\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.16 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 05, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48716856918265,"sku":"9798998891434","price":13.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/J-96uHnlKW9798998891434.webp?v=1785075728","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/long-cold-ride-an-iron-way-story-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
