The Lost Traveller - Paperback

by Steve Wilson (Author)

Long Range is back! A special edition launched by Dr. Cicero Books, this reissue of the classic motorbike novel offers the full, unabridged book, in addition to an exclusive 2013 interview with the author. America as we know it is no more. In the west, a state called the Fief must depend on Hell's Angels, men ruled only by their own violent code of brotherhood, to protect them both from the Gypsies constantly threatening their borders, and from the East, a state that has failed to learn from the nuclear devastation and pursues an aggressiveness reminiscent of the days before the blast. When a scientist whose work promises the reclaiming of the vast Dead Lands decides he must take his discoveries out of the pugilistic East, the Fief sends three Angels to help him escape. Aboard their powerful hogs-motorcycles-the rescue party crosses the desolate plains to the Eastern fortress where he is held. Long Range, an Angel too young to know fear, leads them, which is good, because the world's meanest Gypsy, Bad Hand, who has sworn he'll wipe them out, is right on their tail. Bad Hand was once an Angel himself, but his brothers left him for dead, and now his madness and rage make him indestructible....
