One More Run Matthew S Cox

In August of 2021, they tried to disprove the adage that violence doesn't solve anything-by killing everyone. No people, no problems. Fifty years later, humanity has emerged from the ashes. As if nuclear war didn't do enough, a cruel virus followed on its heels, reducing many survivors to mindless killers. Drivers are the only link between scattered towns. Anyone with the skill to maintain a vehicle (and the balls to hit the road) can seek fortune and glory running jobs for the Roadhouse. Kevin longs to trade in his steering wheel for a Roadhouse of his own, no longer the idiot dodging bullets for a handful of coins. He's one run away from retiring when a strange woman begs him for a ride to Harrisburg. Desperation has a way of getting a man to do stupid things, like running a package so valuable half the Wildlands will come after him. All his life, Kevin cared mostly about himself-and his car-yet this woman makes him wonder if there's more to life than selling food, booze, and weapons to reckless fools. Her past comes calling, leaving Kevin at a fork in the road: fulfill his dream, or let it go for something he never thought he'd want: love.
