A teenage "Mad Max" story in post-apocolyptic America
29 July 1999
Although it was a while since I last read this book, I must admit I enjoyed it a lot. Batt, Raider, Tech and J.J. are 4 post apocolyptic survivors who were born inside a Government Relocation Camp. At the age of sixteen, all the young men in the camp will be trucked off to work for the government doing various types of jobs to try and rebuild whats left of the continent. However the government is harder and harsher than the one before the war and the boys decide they would rather take their chances in the Mojave desert than stick around. They break out of the camp, meet the last survivor of the Yavapai indian tribe named Tracker. He is their age and joins the group and agrees to teach them how to survive in the desert.
Before you think that this is just a simple survivor story, think again. This world contains a few other elements as well. One of the first friends the "Turbo Cowboys" meet is a man named after the hotel he used to run; the Mecca Man. A trader of sorts, he bargains with the kids: Raider, who learned how to be a mechanic in the Relo camp will fix the unused motor dirt bikes in the garage of the hotel and as payment the Cowboys each get a motor bike.
Now the Turbo Cowboys, with the help of Mecca Man are able to more than just survive the desert. But is what they have enough?
There are new enemies to face in the world now. Government hunters, who search the country side looking for relo camp runaways; Takers, who will use force to take anything from your food to your life; and lastly there are other bands of survivors riding around throughout the country. Can five young men truly live in this world?
