Description

A dark energy has followed Noah Sowles since he was a child. As he hammers his big rig alone over the backroads and highways of the country, it's only getting worse.

In the wilderness of the Northern California redwoods, he's highjacked and brutally abducted by two seedy, racist men. They deliver him to their boss, an enigmatic owner of a thriving marijuana farm. After days of struggling for his life, he accepts a dangerous, non-negotiable deal: to drive the rig loaded with seventeen tons of high potency weed to El Paso, Texas, while accompanied by one of his abductors.

Trucking with his armed captor takes a twisted turn when Noah glimpses into the dark underbelly of drug smuggling and human trafficking—he knows there is an ominously familiar evil pushing them toward their destination.

As he finally reaches the crossroads, he discovers a more nefarious, sinister and far-reaching criminal network than he could have imagined. With his own eternal fate hanging in the balance, the aging trucker uses his best wit, humor, and inner strength to survive, but realizes that nothing is as it seems when the devil is in control.

Featured Reviews

d workings of 'minority' truck drivers in the central and west coast of the USA. The life and issues faced.

This is not an easy read. And, its due in the most part to the subject matter.

Truck driving, and life on the road. Not the easiest things to make enjoyable. Yes, it is all written well, and the plot has areas in which additional information has been intertwined. Which go someway to trying to make it easier to read.

The 'paranormal' doesn't really enter into the book at all. There is a twist that really isn't in keeping with the rest of the book. If it had been introduced or even hinted at throughout the remainder of the book. It would have made sense.
