About this eBook

Inspired by Richard Matheson's classic "Duel," "Throttle," by Joe Hill and Stephen King, is a duel of a different kind, pitting a faceless trucker against a tribe of motorcycle outlaws in the simmering Nevada desert. Their battle is fought out on twenty miles of the most lonely road in the country, a place where the only thing worse than not knowing what you're up against, is slowing down . . .

Contrary to the moron who said this is a story about bikers, uh no, that is incorrect. This is a story about an outlaw motorcycle club, not your average bikers. Think Sons of Anarchy type of MC. Either way, King and Hill hit the nail right on the head.

Stephen King /Joe Hill. Recently having discovered Joe Hill (and having long since read everything his Old Man has written at least thrice) I was delighted to come across this. And was even more delighted to read it. Only negative...too short. Do it again guys!!

Your description said 100 pages but it's only 51 pages. I'm not sure if 100 pages is your default for short stories but it's a little deceiving.
