Product Description
Product Description
The world has been devastated by atomic war and only small pockets of civilization still exist in an inferno of deadly storms, tortured volcanic landscapes and monstrously mutated animals. In North America the major surviving centres are California and Boston. And Boston is ravaged by a terrible plague with the only serum in California, three thousand miles of radioactive wasteland away... Hell Tanner is one of the last of the biker Angels, a survivor of the Big Raid that destroyed America, and the only man with even the ghost of a chance of making the nightmare journey through Damnation Alley. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
Synopsis
Damnation Alley...the savage route across a blasted continent, teeming with deadly radiation and insanely lethal storms...the basis for the classic science fiction film. Hell Tanner isn't the sort of guy you'd mistake for a hero: he's a fast-driving car thief, a smuggler, and a stone-cold killer. He's also expendable - at least in the eyes of the Secretary of Traffic for the Nation of California. Tanner doesn't care much for those eyes. You'd also never mistake Hell Tanner for a humanitarian. Facing life in prison for his various crimes, he's given a choice; rot away his remaining years in a tiny jail cell, or drive cross-country and deliver a case of antiserum to the plague-ridden people of Boston, Massachusetts...if anyone is still alive there to receive it, that is. The chance of a full pardon does wonders for getting his attention. And don't mistake this mission of mercy for any kind of normal road trip-not when there are radioactive storms, hordes of carniverous beasts, and giant, mutated scorpions to be found along every deadly mile between Los Angeles and the East Coast. But then, this is no normal part of America, you see. This is Damnation Alley...
