Book Description
ABOUT THE STORY: When big-rig truck driver Hugh Mann picks up a mysterious hitchhiker on a lonely Nevada desert highway he experiences a series of adventures that end up threatening his very life. What is the connection between this enigmatic hitchhiker and the relentless, and brutal, series of attacks by a gang of truck hijackers? Follow Hugh as these events unfold and learn how they remind him of a similarly brutal fight at a truck stop that occurred 15 years before. Readers will experience never-before-revealed intimate details of life behind the wheel of a big-rig, over-the-road semi truck as they join Hugh in one hair-raising adventure after another until the unbelievable, page-turner, climactic, final episode. This isn't "Smokey and the Bandit," folks. It's a fictional portrayal of the reality of how dangerous life can be for truckers, with hijacking episodes that could be taken straight from today's news. EARLY REVIEWS: "Brilliant, BRILLIANT! Do you have a part 2 of this novel? Is there one coming? That was a serious page turner, Dave. Thank you for the opportunity to read your work.

It has all the elements of a good read ... mystery, drama and even a bit of romance with a couple of surprise twists you don't see coming." ABOUT THE AUTHOR: After 33 years behind a desk as a reporter, editor and newspaper publisher, Dave Wickenhauser experienced a "change of life" and decided to become an over-the-road truck driver. Many of the events that are presented in this fictional story of a truck driver actually happened to him in the course of his driving career. It is up to the reader to decide which events are real, and which are fictional. Follow the author's trucking-related news writing at TruckingTruth.com.

The Brotherhood of the Wheel

Languages : en
Pages : 384
Book Description
R.S. Belcher, the acclaimed author of The Six-Gun Tarot and The Shotgun Arcana launches a gritty new urban fantasy series about the mysterious society of truckers known only as, The Brotherhood of The Wheel. In 1119 A.D., a group of nine crusaders became known as the Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon--a militant monastic order charged with protecting pilgrims and caravans traveling on the roads to and from the Holy Land. In time, the Knights Templar would grow in power and, ultimately, be laid low. But a small offshoot of the Templars endure and have returned to the order's original mission: to defend the roads of the world and guard those who travel on them. Theirs is a secret line of knights: truckers, bikers, taxi hacks, state troopers, bus drivers, RV gypsies--any of the folks who live and work on the asphalt arteries of America. They call themselves the Brotherhood of the Wheel. Jimmy Aussapile is one such knight. He's driving a big rig down South when a promise to a ghostly hitchhiker sets him on a quest to find out the terrible truth behind a string of children gone missing all across the country. The road leads him to Lovina Hewitt, a skeptical Louisiana State Police investigator working the same case and, eventually, to a forgotten town that's not on any map--and to the secret behind the eerie Black-Eyed Kids said to prowl the highways.
