No Exit Press - The Ultimate Rush by Joe Quirk

ABOUT THE BOOK

Strap yourself in for the fastest action thriller on wheels. First-time novelist Joe Quirk races into traffic with a high speed action thriller that hurls a rollerblade messenger against the San Francisco PD, the Chinese Mafia and a WWW of high-finance murderers. As the sole rollerblading Helvetica at a SF delivery service, Chet Griffin is the fastest messenger in town. Every day, he delivers critically confidential packages but when he hands over an already-opened envelope containing a floppy disk with billion-dollar information, a deadly serious customer demands satisfaction. On a routine run, Chet's messenger co-worker gets murdered, the finger's pointed at him and Chet finds himself on a rush job to save his own life.

Driven by family ghosts and a little-guy rage against the big-guy machine, Chet enlists the help of his skateboarder-chick best buddy and his superhacker roommate and takes off across the city to track down the evidence he needs to clear his name - and put away the bad boys who want him dead. With ultrafast pacing and attitude to burn, it's a heart-clenching chase of cat and mouse leading up to a blade-churning bullet-blasting finish like no other.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM

"...Ultra-fast and hip as they come... a sensational thriller..." - Howard Marks,

"...'One of the best opening sequences of any novel I've read. A Gen-X novel with the crucial addition of a plot. Frantic and fun, well-written, wayward, excellently characterised with just the right edge of cartoonish violence. Point Break meets Speed and Don Winslow...except more rampant...." - Richmond Review
