Roadkill - Paperback

by Christopher Dow (Author)

Five years after taking part in a disastrous raid to rescue a cruise liner from modern-day pirates, Alex Brant has begun to discover peace for himself driving an eighteen-wheeler across the American Southwest. He even finds time to protect a mysterious desert rat and the mute kid who travels with him. But he can't defend himself against a vicious band of road pirates and their brutal leader, T-Bone, who shoot him and leave him for dead at a roadside rest stop. T-Bone needs Alex's truckload of electronics to realize his mad scheme of revenge against the Las Vegas hoods who killed his wife and son. Only one thing stands between him and the incendiary hell he plans, and that's Alex, who discovers that T-Bone's gang has left him with more than one score to settle.
