Road Kill

Silent is a mutant with secrets buried so deep, even he doesn't know them.

For three years, he's carved out a reputation as a courier delivering cargo for the Red Knight, a warlord hell-bent on ruling the Wastelands. His latest run promises a big payday: more water and gasoline than he can carry. All he must do is survive the trip. But survival's no guarantee in a world where the weak are crushed, the strong are worshipped, and all-powerful mutant overlords play with what's left of humanity.

Between the murderous biker gangs, carnivorous three-headed brahmin, and the scorching heat, Silent is ready to meet chaos head on. What he isn't ready for is a ghost from a past that isn't even his-one tied to his estranged mother, Slayer, and the blood-soaked legacy she left behind.

When a dust trail appears in his rearview mirror, Silent knows he's being hunted. But this isn't just the usual pack of reavers and bandits. Some things-no matter how fast you drive-can't be outrun. In the Wasteland, you survive...or become road kill.

Road Kill: Bloodlines is book one in a gritty post-apocalyptic science-fantasy novella series by Kelly J. Burke.
