Thriller

While trying to be on vacation doing an around the world Adventure Motorcycle tour across Russia and Europe, former CIA agent Rock Pounder is pressed into duty by his current boss, Manfred, otherwise known as The Fat Man. The Fat Man deals in arms, contraband or anything anyone wants delivered anywhere on the planet. Today Manfred wants a thermonuclear energy software program picked up somewhere in the Gobi Desert and delivered for sale to the CIA in Amsterdam. So much for Rock's vacation.

As Rock makes his way through the desert on his bike to pick up a package for Manfred in Mongolia, trouble is behind him at every turn. It seems the CIA, the Russian Mafia and the Russian government are all after this software. Rock does a good job of avoiding them, using a few unscrupulous tactics to stay one step ahead of his followers. But when he finds himself handcuffed to a bed and his legs tied, he's not sure he'll finish this deal. Is this the end of the road for Rock Pounder?

MOTORCYCLE HIGH is a delightful romp through some pretty rough country. Rock loves the ladies, and that could be his undoing on this mission. This story is filled with industrial espionage, spies and counterspies. You never know if the spies are really who they say they are or not. Ride with Rock Pounder through Siberia to the Gobi desert and back, from Kiev to Poland to Amsterdam. It's a great adventure with wine, women and weed -- and one I think you'll enjoy.

SUMMARY

Rock Pounder, adventure rider extraordinaire, is planning a round-the-world trip on his motorcycle. His goal is Amsterdam and the herbal refreshment that awaits him there. But when you're a legend—among women, adventure riders, and spies—nothing is ever as simple as it seems. There's a reason that Rock Pounder's picture hangs in the best brothels in Amsterdam. His abilities are legendary, as women around the world will tell you. Rock has ridden the famous Road of Bones in Russia. He's traveled the snake-infested jungles of Central America, all the way through the Darian Gap, where no riders dare to travel. And with his trusty dirt bike, he's climbed the great peaks of the Himalayas. Rock Pounder, a man of many wiles, matches wits with the CIA, the KGB, and the Russian mafia. The journey will take him places he never expected to go. But when Rock Pounder is on a mission, no one stands in his way, except, maybe, a tall blonde who means nothing but trouble.
